agreed: 11:17:34 ~$ sudo apt-get install libwnck18 Password: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done 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 > $ apt-cache policy libwnck-common > libwnck-common: > Installed: 2.18.3-1 > Candidate: 2.20.0-1 > Version table: > 2.20.0-1 0 > 500 http://ftp.de.debian.org unstable/main Packages > 2.19.5-1 0 > 1 http://ftp.de.debian.org experimental/main Packages > *** 2.18.3-1 0 > 500 http://ftp.de.debian.org testing/main Packages > 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status > 2.14.3-1 0 > 500 http://ftp.de.debian.org stable/main 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!!
