Just do a "dpkg -i --force-depends package-name" to install a particular package,
ignoring the dependencies. Once you are done, run "dpkg --pending --configure",
then "apt-get check" to make sure all of your dependencies are met. If not, run
"apt-get -f install" to fix them.
For future reference, why are you installing GNOME by hand? Is it not easier to
just do an "apt-get install task-gnome-desktop <and other task packages>"?
