I'm running Sarge too. But ll that "apt-get install -t experimental
gnome-desktop-environment" cops me is:


Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
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:
  gnome-desktop-environment: Depends: gnome-core (= 49.exp1) but it is
not going to be installed
                             Depends: dasher but it is not going to be
installed
                             Depends: epiphany-browser (>= 1.2.0)
but it is not going to be installed or
                                      galeon (>= 1.3.13)
                             Depends: file-roller (>= 2.6.0) but it
is not going to be installed
                             Depends: gcalctool (>= 4.3.51) but it
is not going to be installed
                             Depends: gnome-about (>= 2.6.0) but it
is not going to be installed
                             Depends: gnome-games (>= 1:2.6.0) but
it is not going to be installed
                             Depends: gnome-system-monitor (>=
2.6.0) but it is not going to be installed
                             Depends: gnomemeeting (>= 1.00) but it
is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages


Where am I going wrong? Should I be putting all of the deps in
individually/manually? I really dont want to be doing that (again).
