t sounds like you haven't got a repository enabled that offers one of
the dependencies.

If you could open a terminal (Applications -> Accesories -> Terminal)
and type

$ sudo apt-get update
(enter your log in password)
Then

$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

you will probably see some error messgaes. If you can copy and paste
them and attach to this thread, I, or someone else here will see what
we can do to help you solve the issue.

BTW, copying in a terminal window is ctrl-alt-c

Excellent. It should be a fairly easy fix now. And no, you don't need
to do a chkdsk ;-)

Again, open a terminal

Type
$ sudo apt-get clean

Then
$ sudo apt-get update

$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

What this does is remove all your stored .deb files (these are similar
to .exes in wondows) and forces a re-download of all required files
from the repositories.
Apt (the package manager) has marked gedit as available locally and it
seems like that file is corrupt

This may work.

If not, post the output here again.

OK. We've now got gedit to install. So things are much better, believe
it or not.

There is an issue with compiz-gnome. What we'll attempt to do is
remove all compiz settings and then try again.

Well start by purging all compiz pacckages that are (or could have
been) installed previously. Including settings

Open a terminal and c&p the following in (disregard the $ prompt)
$ sudo apt-get --purge compiz compiz-core compiz-fusion-plugins-extra
compiz-fusion-plugins-main compiz-gnome compiz-gtk compiz-plugins
compizconfig-settings-manager libcompizconfig0 python-compizconfig

Once this runs through (and you will probably see a number of error
messages) we need to re-install compiz

$ sudo apt-get install compiz compizconfig-settings-manager

If that doesn't work, post the error output of

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

We're getting there. Don't panic. ;-)

Ouch.

Sorry....

My instructions where flawed.

$ sudo apt-get remove --purge compiz compiz-core compiz-fusion-plugins-extra
compiz-fusion-plugins-main compiz-gnome compiz-gtk compiz-plugin
compizconfig-settings-manager libcompizconfig0 python-compizconfig

You see the "remove". That was Moog's mistake. Apologies.

Always best to double check any "how to" involving sudo. You could bury
a x-server or similar in there for fun too ....

No fun, pewrhaps, but we are getting there.

You now need to allow dpkg to configure the compiz-gnome paackage.

Once again open a terminal and type

$ sudo dpkg --configure compiz-gnome

Any errors, post them.

OK. So. The error gives us the message "Mismatch in line 838".

Believe it or not, there are only 145 lines in my
compiz-wobbly.schemas file.

I'd open it up and edit the offending file

$ gedit /usr/share/gconf/schemas/compiz-wobbly.schemas

Go to the end of the file and delete everything after the entry


Alternatively,

Open it up with the gedit command above and paste the following

Looks like a bug. To fix it make a backup of the file
/usr/share/gconf/schemas/compiz-wobbly.schemas
then open it as root in your favourite editor (e.g. using
sudo gedit /usr/share/gconf/schemas/compiz-wobbly.schemas
in a terminal window. In line 838 replace with .
Then run
sudo dpkg --configure --pending
