I just installed Debian Sid and I'm trying to install Gnome. However I've had no success. Each time I do I get this error message:
apt-get install gnome
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... 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:
gnome: Depends: gnome-desktop-environment (= 1:2.10.2.3) but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages
I also tried to trace what the prblem is, so I tried to install "gnome-desktop-environment" but was told that Evolution was needed but it was not going to be installed. I then tried to install Evolution but got this error:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done

The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
evolution: Depends: libsoup2.2-7 (>= 2.2.3) but it is not installable
E: Broken packages
So I think that libsoup2.2-7 (>=2.2.3) is the problem but I tried to find it at rpmseek.com but without any luck. Is there a way I can get Debian on Sid? If so how?
