There is some problem which I am not able to pin point. I am using uptodate mirrors. I tried using dselect with the --debug option but it wants to upgrade 631 packages - which I do not want to do.
After some fiddling around I was able to install gfortran-4.1. But I am now unable to install gfortran.
$dpkg -l gfortran\* | grep ^ii
ii gfortran-4.0-doc 4.0.3-3 Documentation for the GNU Fortran compiler (
ii gfortran-4.1 4.1.0-4 The GNU Fortran 95 compiler
ii gfortran-doc 4.0.3-4 Documentation for the GNU Fortran compiler (
Now if I do
$sudo apt-get install gfortran

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.
Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
gfortran: Depends: gfortran-4.0 (>= 4.0.3-1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages
However, If I install gfortran-4.0 first then gfortran can be installed.
$sudo apt-get install gfortran-4.0
