18.10 MATE python-gconf not installable
On 18.10 MATE I'm trying to install x-tile https://www.giuspen.com/x-tile/ which I've been using since 16.04 or so.
Installation fails looking for python-gconf and installation of python-gconf fails with what looks to be a circular dependency. Is there an issue with python-gconf for 18.10? Has it been replaced? I've left a note on the developer site but there hasn't been x-tile activity there for some time.
Here's what the installation attempt looks like. I've cut some output into <...>
sudo dpkg -i x-tile_2.5.1-1_all.deb
<...>
x-tile depends on python-gconf; however:
Package python-gconf is not installed.
<...>
sudo apt install python-gconf
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
python-gconf : Depends: gconf-service
Depends: libgconf-2-4 (>= 3.2.5) but it is not going to be installed
<...>
gconf-service : Depends: gconf-service-backend (= 3.2.6-4.1ubuntu2) but it is not going to be installed
<...>
gconf-service-backend : Depends: gconf-service
Depends: libgconf-2-4 (= 3.2.6-4.1ubuntu2) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: gconf2-common (= 3.2.6-4.1ubuntu2) but it is not going to be installed
x-tile : Depends: python-gconf but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
apt --fix-broken install simply removes x-tile.

A quick look at one error (packages.ubuntu.com/…) makes it look like your requirements should be met (3.2.6-4.1), it's located in 'universe' so firstly I'd check you have 'universe' enabled, second I'd useapt-cache policy libgconf-2-4to verify it's in your sources - if it isn't listed I'd check your sources (if using a mirror, ensure it's up-to-date (launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors) as it may be your chosen mirror needs replacement (isn't maintained reliably)

About Gconf and python2
Not he answer you were literally looking for, but gconf is gone for quite a while (replaced by dconf), and python2, in which x-tile is written, isn't quite fresh as well. Looking at the code of x-tile, its latest commit was almost three years ago, which is a very long time in developers time.
Then what?
Your options are to either try and contact x-tile's maintainer and find out if he is going to update, or use another tiling extension, like this one, which is a default extension in Ubuntu Budgie, but also works on Mate (disclaimer: I am the author).
The extension furthermore has a growing number of cli options and can a.o. be used for quarter-tiling shortcuts, arrange all in a grid etc etc.
To install, just follow the instructions in the README here.
