Bug#243622: Broken dependencies in unstable

[Brendan Jurd]

Package: gnome-themes-extras
Version: 0.6-1
Severity: grave

It would seem that gnome-themes-extras depends on a group of packages 
which themselves are dependant on gnome-themes-extras.  Since the gnome 
package is dependant on gnome-themes-extras, this problem has a fairly 
wide area of effect.

Transcript follows:

gnome is already the newest version.
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  gnome: Depends: gnome-themes-extras but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or 
specify a solution).

Now, unless I'm hallucinating, these dependencies are utterly 
nonsensical.  And APT seems to agree with me.
