problems with apt-get
 

Hola!

I am given the command

sudo apt-get -t sid install ^r-cran

but gets

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.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

*r-cran-pscl : Depends: r-cran-gam but it is not installable
E: Broken packages

I have tried many permutations with --fix-missing** --ignore-missing and the like, but not workd.
How can I get apt-get to ignore r-cran-pscl and just install the remaining?

apt-get install $(apt-cache search -n ^r-cran | awk '!/r-cran-pscl/{print$1}')

This is ugly, of course; the proper solution to this kind of problem
involves replacing "-get" with "itude".
