We are in the middle of a transition from OCaml 3.11.0 to OCaml
3.11.1. It is normal and expected that in between packages depending
on OCaml are uninstallable for some time on some architecture.
gmetadom is one of that package, currently being uninstallable on most
architectures.
The right solution is to wait (or not using Debian "unstable" which is
the only suite of the archive that, being under development, is
expected to break at some points in time).

That's not going to help. Dependencies are correct. What you get after
installing that way, is a library which can segfault at runtime due to
incompatibilities among OCaml internals which can change from version
to version.
Cheers.
