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:
seaview: Depends: libforms0.88 but it is not installable
E: Sorry, broken packages

Please always try to provide the version number if you can, even if
reportbug can't insert it for you.

seaview depends on libforms0.89 in unstable. Also, libforms0.88 does
exist in the archive on all architectures where there's an old version
of seaview in testing depending on it. I suspect you simply don't have
non-free in your sources.list (seaview is in contrib).
