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.
libwnck18: Depends: libwnck-common (< 2.19) but 2.20.0-1 is to be
installed
E: Broken packages

I have:
12:08:47 ~$ apt-cache policy libwnck-common
libwnck-common:
Installed: 2.20.0-1
Candidate: 2.20.0-1
Version table:
*** 2.20.0-1 0
500 ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org unstable/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
so if I uninstall that, add testing/main to sources.list and then
re-install it works (as long as I remember the '-t testing' option to
force apt-get to use testing not unstable; I think that's where I went
wrong before)...
all now seems much happier - THANKS!!
