Help with Debian apt-get & Gnome2
Hi,
I recently converted to Debian from RH and though I managed to install Debian 3.0 rev0 on my laptop and could connect to the internet via DSL, I simply am not able to upgrade to Gnome2. Installation on my Presario 715US was my smoothest ever...but the 2.2 kernel, old gnome etc. make it painful for a recent convert <Groan!>
I tried several variations of :
$apt-get --fix-broken -t experimental install gnome2
but it throws up a whole list of dependencies :
gnome2: Depends: bug-buddy (>= 2.2.0) but 2.0.8-1 is to be installed
Depends: gnome-control-center2 but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libeel2-2 but it is not installable
Depends: eog2 but it is not going to be installed
Depends: gnome-applets2 but it is not going to be installed
<BLAH...BLAH...BLAH>
Depends: gedit (>= 2.0.1) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: file-roller2 but it is not installable
Depends: gnome-games (>= 2.0.2-1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Sorry, broken packages
My sources.list looks like this :
deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ ../project/experimental main
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ ../project/experimental main
# See sources.list(5) for more information, especialy

Any pointers anyone? Please reply to anand@myrealbox.com as I am not subscribed to this list.
