I couldn't find 'apt-show-packages' - even google only lists six pages
when searching for 'apt-show-packages':
http://www.google.com/search?q=apt-show-packages

Where can I find it?

Is there some way to list the package dependencies used when trying to
upgrade debian?  Having a dependency tree it should be easy to
understand why apt-get always wants to uninstall gnome.

Thanks for your answer, Dietrich
