Install gnome-core and its dependencies from unstable, probably? Just guessing, as I don't actually run testing at the moment ...
This does not work (on my system, at least) --After I added unstable to my sources.list and did an update, I then did apt-get -u install gnome-core. This gave me errors about KDE requiring kdebase-audiolibs (why are KDE dependancies being mentioned when I only asked to install gnome-core) and also a dependancy on gedit. I added those dependancies to my apt-get install command and received a message about other unmet dependancies. This continued through several more rounds of adding dependancies as hey came up (I thought that apt-get was supposed to deal with all of this dependancy stuff) untill it asked for libvorbis0a, libvorbisenc2 and libvorbisfiles3. Once I added these to the install line it came back saying that it needed libvorbis0. With this added into the command, the error returned said that libvorbis0a, libvorbisenc2 and libvorbisfiles3 all conflict with libvorbis0. At this point, I gave up.
Can anyone tell me how I can get back to any version of a working gnome session? Gnome1.4 worked fine for me and I would not object to going back to it if someone can tell me just what needs to be downgraded, uninstalled, etc. I just want a working system.
