Hi everyone

I did an apt-get install gnome and came across an error that seams to have
broken apt. It stopped on this error:

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  gnome: Depends: gnome-office (= 43) but it is not going to be installed
         Depends: netspeed but it is not going to be installed
         Depends: rhythmbox but it is not going to be installed
         Depends: synaptic or
                  gnome-apt but it is not going to be installed
         Depends: xscreensaver but it is not going to be installed
  yelp: Depends: libxslt1.1 (>= 1.1.2) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a
solution).
