It won't work in this case because gnome-desktop is only in unstable right now.
Doesn't matter for Dave's idea which is meant for failures in the final installation phase when the *.deb is already built but doesn't want to install. apt-get then finds it on your harddisk. Hence the need for scanpackages.

dpkg: error processing /sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/gnome/gnome- desktop_2.0.10-4_darwin-powerpc.deb (--install):
conflicting packages - not installing gnome-desktop
I can't guarantee this will work. But typically, when you get an error from dpkg about conflicts, you're best off using apt-get for this bit.
