Bug#318769: apt-get will not install gnome

[Debian Jones]

package: gnome
version: unknown

complete i/o for apt-get command:

root at 2[lion]# 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
         Depends: gnome-office (= 1:2.10.1.1) but it
is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages

I have observed this problem with two debian-based
distributions: Simply Mepis and Kanotix, both
installed to the hard drive.  I just got a new
computer last Saturday, and spent a few days trying
different distributions out to see how they felt, and
for both Kanotix and Simply Mepis, I was able to
install Gnome with apt-get on Saturday, July 9, but no
later than Monday, July11.
