The first Gnome 2.20 packages have entered unstable; the current mix of
version 2.18 and 2.20 does not seem to be installable.

However, right now it might still be enough to simply add a "testing"
repository to your sources.list. Apt should be able to pull in the
missing 2.18 packages from Lenny.

As of now (2007-09-24 20:04 UTC), GNOME 2.20 in Sid seems totally
installable except for libwnck.

But doesn't Gnome depend on that? I thought that was what the OP's
dependency problems came down to.

It is!

Does he have to switch manually from
libwnck18 to libwnck22?

I tried that but hit other problems.

Or should he just have waited a few more hours?
(I currently see a mix of roughly 2/3 Gnome 2.20 and 1/3 Gnome 2.18
packages, but maybe my mirror is just lagging behind a bit.)

I've waited about a day now and still no joy :(
