Yes.

The new apt (and apt-utils) are v0.6.38. Some packages, including but not
limited to
apt-file
apt-listchanges
apt-rdepends
apt-show-versions
aptitude
libapt-pkg-perl
python-apt
synaptic
depend in some way on v0.5.something.
Put 'apt' and 'apt-utils' on hold to prevent the packages above from being
removed -- I don't have the 'gnome' meta-package installed, so I don't know
about it. Then, we wait for the rest to catch up.
