Yes, the problem on my side was caused by the name scheme change in
Debians GNOME2 packages. To allow co-existing w/ GNOME1 packages, the
previous name scheme was this:
gnome2-[something]
gnome-[something]2
Some of my core GNOME2 packages were installed using this scheme. But
for the last few months, this name scheme is changing to a form
without a appended "2" suffix. So, an apt-get dist-upgrade failed,
because the according dependencies were not matched in version, but
not causing an error.
So, this helped:
i removed many packages with a "2" and searched package names on
packages.debian.org and looked, if they are GNOME2 already (e.g.
"gnome-system-monitor2" has become "gnome-system-monitor".
So i removed the "2ers" and replaced them with the new ones, so that
all was in sync.
This did it for me and i hope that helps!
