I'm seeing this bug too, for what it's worth.  By the way, if you do

  # apt-get remove iagno

...the result is very bad -- apt-get claims it will remove 'gnome' and
'gnome-desktop-environment', among other things!

The reason appears to be that 'gnome' depends on 'gnome-games', and
'gnome-games' depends on 'iagno'.  I don't know why 'gnome' depends on
'gnome' games; that seems like a bad idea.  The transcript below shows
some of the aftermath:

  You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
  The following packages have unmet dependencies:
   gnome-games : Depends: iagno (>= 1:3.8) but it is not installed
  E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.

  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-games : Depends: iagno (>= 1:3.8) but it is not going to be installed
  E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
