Hi, I logged into a seldom-used account to satisfy an 80 yr. old

choosing the latter out of long-term habit. I then found gnome-panels
to be completely gone.
I've been trying to reverse-engineer my way out of this be repeating
these steps but that
choice is not re-appearing.
Trying 'apt-get -f install gnome-panel' as root gives me a long string
of unmet dependencies
which won't cut'n paste from gnome-terminal.
Is this something affecting other Debian unstable users at the moment,
or just me ?
Btw, here are the results I get running apt-get -f install gnome-panel:
me@mymachine:~$ sudo apt-get -f install gnome-panel

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:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
gnome-panel: Depends: libbonoboui2-0 (>= 2.5.4) but it is not going to
be installed
Depends: libecal6 (>= 1.0.4) but it is not going to be
installed
Depends: libedataserver3 (>= 1.0.4) but it is not going to
be installed
Depends: libgnome-desktop-2 (>= 2.8.0) but it is not going
to be installed
