When trying to install gnome-shell I get this error:


sudo apt-get install gnome-shell
davek@davek-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get install gnome-shell
Reading package lists... Done

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
gnome-shell: Depends: libgjs0 but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages
davek@davek-laptop:~$

what would be needed to fix broken packages?
I'm running 10.04 32bit

Check System, Administration, Software Sources to make sure you have the universe repository enabled.

To fix broken packages, run
sudo apt-get install -f

maybe it can't be installed? or somethings missing.

You have the universe repository enabled? Run
sudo apt-get update

I have universe repos checked off. And I have run apt-get update regularly. I'll try again, but somethings missing. I have gnome-shell running on my other PC running fedora 13, so it's not that important to have it on Ubuntu. It will probably be part of the next version 10.10 in October.

A little googling turned up this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/555155

...still no fix to the problem... maybe someone will figure out a fix, otherwise I'll wait until version 10.10 comes out.
