There seem to be two problems here. The first is the fact that
installing several packages at the same time fail. I was able to get
closer to that issue by replacing apt-get with aptitude, indicating
that the issue involve gnome, evince-gtk and sudo-ldap. Trying to
install these fail the same way:
# apt-get install gnome sudo-ldap evince-gtk
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
sudo-ldap is already the newest version.
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
gnome : Depends: gnome-core (= 1:3.8+8) but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: browser-plugin-gnash but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
#
The second problem is the fact that gnome is being installed in the
first place. This should not happen when the desktop setting is set
to kde.
