Jack, I'm copying the dependencies below. This is not a complete list, as last night I did start to install several of them individually after I encountered the resolving dependency error. The two dependencies that surprise me are esound and the entire Gnome desktop. Note that gtk+2 and other packages that I assume are dependencies are not listed below because I installed them when I installed other packages. By the way, evince may be the culprit here. I just tried to install evince separately. It is the package that requires the texlive-nox-base virtual dependency, esound, and gnome-desktop. Building fails immediately because it cannot resolve the ghostscript--nox=9.10-1 dependency.
