Same thing happens.
The point is that I already have the packages gnome and
gnome-desktop-environment from Sid installed and simply installing it
again (with the -t experimental argument) won't pull in anything--all
dependencies are already satisfied. I don't want do do an upgrade, since
that would pull in much more than I want. AFAICS a gnome (or
gnome-desktop-environment) package in experimental would pull in all
Gnome2.8 related packages.
To make things worse, it seems that using aptitude to install all
upgradable packages in the section gnome will break a few dependencies
and cause Sid::gnome to be removed... a gnome package in experimental
would not do that.
I think it'd also be useful if there were a command that would try to do
an upgrade of a specified package and all its dependencies. Given the
vastness of Debian I wouldn't be too surprised if such a command
existed, but I don't know of it, yet.
