Bug#457365: gdm

[Vince Ieraci]

Package: GDM
Version: 2.20.2

I upgraded my distro to lenny. Recently, auto updates
reported conflicts and the package package was to be held
back.
I decided to intervene and ran these commands as suggested

apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get -o Debug::pkgProblemResolver=yes dist-upgrade
apt-get -u dselect-upgrade
dselect
apt-get install gdm
apt-get autoremove
apt-get install gdm

Not sure which step removed gdm but then I couldn't get a
login screen on startup, just a terminal. I then installed
gdm but apt-get had to remove the gnome package. Now it
appears that gdm and gnome don't want to co-exist.

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 (= 1:2.14.3.6)
but it is not going to be installed
         Depends: gdm-themes but it is not going to be
installed
