Hi Abhishek, from time to time, all the required packages for (in this case) gnome are not avaiable when you last did a 'apt-get update'. This should be remidieded in the near future, this is just expected behavior for the unstable branch of Debian. So, wait a few days and 'apt-get update' and try again. For more immediate and up-to-date info, try installing irrsi-text or some other irc client and chat in #debian.
