Re: Installing Gnome 2.2 on Debian 3.0 rev1

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:
  gnome: Depends: gnome-core (= 28) but it is not going to be installed
         Depends: pan but it is not going to be installed

I put the GNOME 2.2 line into a woody machine and got similar results. I then tried apt-get install pan, which yielded another bunch of unmet dependencies. I then followed this trail (gnome, pan, libgtk2.0-0, libxft2) and eventually discovered that it's the versioned dependencies on X 4.2 which are causing the problem. As stated on Colin Walters page, you need to install X 4.2 before GNOME 2. See:
