Solved, thanks to kindly user Karl Fogel who wrote me off-list. This procedure is what did it: apt-get update apt-get install gnome apt-get -f install (had to do that about three times before full success) apt-get -f dist-upgrade This got me past the 'libgstreamer' problem and on to full upgrade from Squeeze to Wheezy, which I was doing in hopes it might help with other problems I'd been having (black screen on Resume, squashed images on display, and unable to transfer more than 32k). This upgrade _did_ immediately solve the "squashed images" problem -- Gnome's System Settings now offers sensible resolution choices for the size of the laptop's screen (15.4 inches wide). -- -- Jeff -- <http://www.wellnow.com> "There's nothing left in the world to prove.
