Gnome 2 problems
I have had gnome 2 installed from expermential and prior to that gnome 1,
now I am trying to get everything sorted out so I can run gnome 2 from sid
and I am having problems installing gnome-core. I complains about
gnome-apllets and gnome-panel which are both installed:
dpkg -l gnome-applets
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed
|/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err:

panel
dpkg -l gnome-panel

this is what I get when I try to install gnome-core
apt-get install gnome-core

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:
gnome-core: Depends: gnome-applets (>= 2.1.3-1) but it is not going to be
installed
Depends: gnome-panel (>= 2.1.90.1-1) but it is not going to be
installed
E: Sorry, broken packages
Anyone have any ideas what is wrong?
