I have upgraded my kubuntu 9.04 to 9.10 in the last week. before the upgrade GNOME was also installed as a secondary desktop, however after the upgrade it is missing so I have been trying to install GNOME but had no luck...

it seems that there is a problem with unmet-dependencies. I get the following messages when trying to install gnome:

root@home-laptop:~# apt-get install gnome
Reading package lists... Done

I have logged a bug for it but I wonder if anyone new a way around it? is there another REPO that I could use?

I solved the issue by installing GNOME-CORE.
