When I try to do this aptitude says (because ekiga will be removed):

**********************
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  gnome-desktop-environment: Depends: ekiga (>= 2.0.12) but it is not installable
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:

Remove the following packages:
gnome-desktop-environment

Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?] n
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:

Keep the following packages at their current version:
ekiga [2.0.12-1+nmu1 (testing, unstable, now)]
ekiga-snapshot [Not Installed]

Score is -9810

Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?]

Is the problem the version number (0 < 2)?

**********************
$ apt-cache policy ekiga-snapshot
ekiga-snapshot:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 0-20081119-1
  Version table:
    0-20081119-1 0
    200 http://snapshots.ekiga.net ./ Packages

What happens if I accept the second solution?
