Thanks for advice. I tried to remove that package with apt at first, to no avail, but dpkg was successful. Then the '--fix-broken' step and the full-upgrade step performed without errors. Misko

I suspect that files have been moved between packages since that version was released, and (some of) the files which were previously in gnome-themes-more are now in marco-common. -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
