Package: gnome
Severity: normal

I have been unable to apt-get install gnome on my machine for several
weeks.  I have noticed this problem on several newly installed machines
since sarge was made stable.  Everything seems fine on machines that
were already installed and running gnome before the switch.  I assume
that these are simply problems with the dependency tree and will work
themselves out eventually, but I wanted to submit this to get an actual
answer from someone who would know better than I do.  If there is a
way around this please let me know, otherwise I'll just deal with it
and you can close this report.  Thanks for your attention.


My apt sources:
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free

Output from 'apt-get install gnome':
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  gnome: Depends: gnome-desktop-environment (= 1:2.10.1.1) but it is not
  going to be installed
  E: Broken packages

If I try to install 'gnome-desktop-environment' there is a dependency
problem with 'evince' or 'gpdf'.  I can repeat this process with each of
the dependecies on down the tree.
