I have decided to try to install Ximian Desktop. I added this

deb http://red-carpet.ximian.com/debian stable main 

to /etc/apt/sources.list and got this error after the second 
apt-get dist-upgrade
I used the apt-get -f install per the error message when I ran 
apt-get dist-upgrade

penny:/home/rdm# apt-get -f install
