Comment 17 for bug 542404

Hullo. I am having the same prob, and am running Ubuntu 10.10. I tried going to Synaptic, edit -> fix broken packages, and now when I try to go the terminal and type apt-get install gnome, or apt-get install -s gnome, I get the following:

root@TheDoctorsTARDIS:~# apt-get install -s gnome
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package gnome is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'gnome' has no installation candidate

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
