I have another experience. After I have installed Debian, my package
management program becomes a mess, and I install new packages with
dpkg after downloading from the Debian site. Although
I do not run gnome, I installed gnumeric this way (in Potato), and had to 
install only a few
extra packages (do not remember which ones, but less than five)
because of dependencies. Gnumeric runs fairly well now.
