Try installing gnome-desktop-environment on its own and see what comes up.
I remember having this problem, and I tried each package individually until it finally spat something out at me which was helpful.

Hi all,
I am using debian/unstable, and find i can't install gnome with the following error:
#####aptitude install gnome Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree Reading extended state information Initializing package states... Done Reading task descriptions... Done E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. E: Unable to correct dependencies, some packages cannot be installed E: Unable to resolve some dependencies! Some packages had unmet dependencies. 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 packages have unmet dependencies: gnome: Depends: gnome-desktop-environment (= 61) but it is not installable Depends: gnome-office (= 61) but it is not installable Depends: evolution but it is not installable or balsa but it is not installable Depends: gnome-cups-manager but it is not installable Depends: gnome-system-tools (>= 0.90.0) but it is not installable Depends: magicdev but it is not installable or gnome-volume-manager but it is not installable Depends: rhythmbox but it is not installable Depends: totem but it is not installable
There are some errors with dependence, how can i fix it?
Thank you for suggestions.
