There's a conflict because both gnome-panel-data and asclock use some of the data files. See bug number #67244. PL> gnome-panel-data depends on gnome-panel >= 1.2 ... but only PL> 1.0.5 is available... I assume this is being worked on? The GNOME stuff in woody is a nightmare. I spent a whole day (literally) getting it to compile (and I'm still probably missing things). There are a couple of major problems. One is that many of the core packages don't include a Build-Depends line, which means that the build-daemon can't build them reliably without human intervention. It also means that if you decide to build them yourself, you'll have to figure out what development packages you need, find them, and (almost certainly) build them, only to find that you need still other unbuilt packages, and so on. Another big problem is that the current libglade cannot be built with the current bonobo. The problem's been fixed in CVS, but not released, and the Debian packages have been updated to deal with this issue. Also, the current gnome-control-center is very beta -- lots of things that used to work don't. (That's assuming you manage to build the thing in the first place, of course.) I've filed bunches of bugs on this stuff, we'll see if some of it gets sorted out eventually. If you're desperate to have the newest GNOME, your best bet is probably to track down the HelixCode packages people have compiled for PowerPC (search the list archive for more information).
