I forgot to add - the options to try to set up the GUI resulted in
unresolved dependencies. The packages listed as missing are not in the
Debian repos, at least not under the names the software was expecting.
If you refuse the GUI options and go for an interactive setup (it's
one of the questions) then the unresolved dependencies go away.
