I think dselect and/or apt gives a message
like "package foo depends on bar, but bar
isn't available" in such cases. But I did not
receive a message this time.
However, I checked all dependencies of libgnome0
manually. Every package libgnome0 depends on
is already installed with a sufficient version.

In that case dselect should list the missing
package in the "dependency error window".
Anyway .. as I wrote above: All dependencies
are met.
Any other ideas?
