I have similar problem with ubuntu 8.04. System has kde4 installed, but there are problems. So I tried to install gnome:
sudo apt-get install gnome Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... 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 (= 1:2.20.2.2) but it is not going to be installed E: Broken packages sudo apt-get install gnome-desktop-environment Reading package lists...
