Cannot install Gnome2 - broken dependencies ... more info.
This is on August 7, 2002:
When I did apt-get update, I get the following lines:
Hit http://security.debian.org stable/updates/non-free Release
Failed to fetch http://people.debian.org/~evo/./Packages 404 Not Found
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
W: Couldn't stat source package list http://people.debian.org ./
Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/people.debian.org_%7eevo_._Packages) -
stat (2 No such file or directory)
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old
ones used instead.
I guess the evo link is down. This may be the reason for the following
error when I try to install gnome 2 from experimental (not sure about
it though).
debian:/etc/apt# apt-get -t experimental install gnome2

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:
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
