Three intertwined errors when trying to update-all.

Running OS 10.4.1,
Package manager version: 0.24.7
Distribution version: 0.8.0.rsync


*****Whenever I try to do an update-all, libgnome fails with:

Reading Package Lists...
Building Dependency Tree...
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
libgnomeprint2.2: Depends: libgnomeprint2.2-shlibs (= 2.6.2-9) but it is not going to be installed
  xfree86: Conflicts: xfree86-base-threaded
           Conflicts: system-xfree86 but 2:4.5-2 is to be installed
  xfree86-shlibs: Conflicts: xfree86-base-threaded-shlibs
                  Conflicts: system-xfree86 but 2:4.5-2 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
