Thanks, I _will_ learn to use these diagnostics reflexively!
dog:/home/paul# apt-get install smbfs
<SNIP>
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
smbfs: Depends: samba-common (= 2.0.7-3) but 2.0.7-3.4 is to be
installed
E: Sorry, broken packages
So I will
a) read the docs (again... and again...)
b) force-install smbfs
c) check to see if the bug has been logged
