Using pinning, I did that.

Yeah, you'd think or hope so, however it didn't. It seems
gnome-python-desktop must be updated. It isn't going to update as there
are many conflicts. I can't even install a knew version of
gnome-desktop-environment, so what should I do to resolve this conflict?
There apparently about 60 odd. I solved all the other dependency issues
apart from this one.

Thanks,
