[ale] Endless dependencies

[sara yurman]

I'm attempting to install Electric Eyes using .deb packages.  It will, I
hope, be the first Gnome package on the system so there are a lot of
supporting packages to install.  Two of them (libgnome32 and
libgnomeui32) won't install because each is dependent on the other. 
Everything else seems to be dependent on libgnome32.

Any words of wisdom out there?  I've listed my error messages below.

TIA,

Sara

libgnome support, of course, depends on libgnome32.
