I thought you had reinstalled gnome and maybe it would not start up
completely with enlightenment window manager starting. That's what
happened to me.
Do you have any packages in /var/cache/apt/archives/partial. I had a
problem with packages that would neither install nor could I purge them,
with apt not able to install anything. I worked on it for the better
part of the day to fix it but I can not remember just what worked. I do
remember some packages in .../partial/ that I removed.
