Hi,
I've come accoss a similar problem, that my apt-get or aptitude wanted to remove my gnome, gtk, etc. Almost ervery core module of gnome i think.(see attached for the result of apt-get autoremove -s)
I also guess sid's dependency may be broken recently.
Regards.

The temporary solution seems to be, as Daniel, Magnus and HS proposed,
to use aptitude rather than apt-get or synaptic.
The following sequence updated most of my system:
*aptitude update
*aptitude safe-upgrade
*aptitude -s full-upgrade
*aptitude full-upgrade
Concerning the latter command, I followed the advice of HS:
*Aptitude usually tells you what is broken and what is the suggested
*resolution. If you do not accept the suggestion, it gives you
*another different one and so on until you accept one or just quit
*the upgrade.
and only accepted a partial solution.
Aptitude still doesn't know about any final solution and still wants to:
*Remove the following packages:
*fast-user-switch-applet
*gnome
*gnome-desktop-environment
*gnome-system-tools
which I am rejecting.
This update / upgrade procedure removed the kde meta package which, as
Tom pointed out, didn't "hurt too much as it won't remove anything
except the meta package itself". *Also I am currently mostly using
gnome anyway.
Even if my system is in a somehow inconsistent state now, I can live
with this situation until the problem is solved and a new version of
gnome and kde can be installed. *The most important thing is that I
still can update the rest of my system. In Joe's words:
*some of the time, the sid repositories are in an inconsistent state,
*and a bit of patience is required. Looking at the current rate of
*updates, about 70MB a day for my 2200 packages, this is not entirely
*surprising.
and also:
*so that's a matter of waiting
Concerning aptitude vs. apt-get / synaptic, Daniel said:
*The algorithms used to solve dependencies are different, so
*sometimes they'll produce different results. *aptitude has more
*facilities for showing why it's doing what it's doing, which is why
*I suggested it.
As the problem seems to concern all people using gnome on debian sid
(Daniel: [...] broken gnome-system-tools [...] broken kdenetwork
[...]), but still I couldn't find other postings about the problem, I
suppose that most of the people using debian sid rather use aptitude
than apt-get or synaptic to update their system and do not mind
packages listed as broken too much
To cite Daniel again:
*So, these are the dependencies it's trying to resolve. *The big
*problems for you are probably the broken gnome-system-tools (which
*is required by gnome-desktop-environment) and the broken kdenetwork
*(which is part of kde). *In the case of kdenetwork, you can't
*upgrade it until kde is rebuilt for your architecture -- according
*to packages.debian.org, packages like dcoprss are only at 4:3.5.9-2
*on amd64, hppa, and ia64 so far.
*gnome is broken because gnome-desktop-environment depends on
*gnome-system-tools, which depends on both system-tools-backends and
*liboobs-1-3; however, the new version of system-tools-backends
*conflicts with liboobs-1-3. *So the version of gnome in sid just
*can't be installed at all, ever.
*In other words, neither of these packages can be upgraded right now.
I am happy to wait
Thank you all for your help,
Dietrich
PS:
Thanks to Ron for teaching me about
: * apt-show-versions -u | sort
