    gnome lost

    I am using linux debian and for some purpose I have added the "unstable" distribution to sources.list

    I have made an upgrade (apt-get upgrade) which worked but with some error messages.

    Then to meet some dependency I install x11-common I had many such errors, then I removed the "testing" and replaced it with "testing" I have completed the installation of x11-common with
    apt-get install x11-common --Fix-missing

    After rebooting gnome is no longer installed and when I use
    apt-get install gnome
    I get a dependency problem.
    The same has occured with KDE, and many other software (Openoffice, Bluefish,..)

    Do I have to remove all the "testing" packages??
    Can someone help?

    it is best not to mix packages. I say either use testing or unstable
