I cannot remove any of the packages. Whatever I attempt to remove I
just get the following error:-

Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
  gnome-control-center: Depends: oaf (>= 0.6.5) but it is not going to
  be installed
  gnome-panel: Depends: gnome-panel-data (>= 1.4.0.2-1) but
  1.2.4-helix2 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or
specify a solution).

Running apt-get -f install just produces the error I posted
before.

I think I need to do some reading on apt... any help in the mean time
would be most welcome :)

Simon.
