Where do you get 'gnome-themes-more' from? At least as far as I can tell without more digging, it isn't in current stable or testing. It *is* available on archive.debian.org and snapshot.debian.org, with that version number, but based on the timestamps it doesn't seem to have been updated since 2010. > Errors were encountered while processing: > /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-S65GMD/8-marco-common_1.24.1-3_all.deb > > > A repeated # apt full-upgrade returned a list of unmet dependencies, > including this one: > > marco : Depends: marco-common (= 1.24.1-3) but 1.20.3-1 is installed > > At the end of the list it suggested: Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with > no packages (or specify a solution).

My first default would be to remove gnome-themes-more (possibly with apt, possibly directly with dpkg), then try the '--fix-broken' step again. Assuming that works, I'd then follow it up by repeating the full-upgrade step just to make sure, and then after that - if I really wanted gnome-themes-more - try to reinstall it (preferably using an updated package, if you can get your hands on one). I suspect that files have been moved between packages since that version was released, and (some of) the files which were previously in gnome-themes-more are now in marco-common. -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
