You probably need to add some repositories to your sources.list file in order to meet those dependencies.

See here (http://ubuntuguide.org/).

Nanaban,
I made a big post saying how I had your exact same problem (save different files), and that I had already updated my sources.list file as according to the Ubuntu Guide.

Then I checked my own sources.list file, and found I hadn't uncommented two of the repositories - now everything works fine. So, moral is: double check sources.list!

[nanaban]

I update everyday and I think I have all the repositories added (12 in total?).

Would be helpful if someone can confirm this by actually trying it.

Or, is there a particular reason why smlnj-runtime is not in the repository?

Hello,

I've had the same problem. I have the following two lines in my sources.list
deb http://uk.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hoary universe

which should mean that I would get
http://uk.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/s/smlnj-runtime/

but smlnj-runtime doesn't show up in Synaptic.

The problem seems to be that smlnj-runtime doesn't show up in
http://uk.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hoary/universe/binary-i386/Packages.bz2
