Access synaptic. On the left column, there is a tab BROKEN. Open it and ask synaptic to 'fix broken'. See if this works.

I've fixed it. The fix was pretty obvious, too. I looked up git-core and highlighted it, selected Package -> Force version, and set it to 1:1.6.3.3, which is what gitk depends on.

Gitk and git-core are now happily installed. Thanks for the help.
