I see this problem in Lucid Lynx (10.4 LTS Beta 2) the install was a clean Beta 1 that got upgraded to Beta 2.
And when I tried to install gnome-shell, never installed on this machine before, it stops with libgjs0 dependencies and the xul-runner issue as listed above.

Downloading the package from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/i386/libgjs0/0.4-3ubuntu4 made it work (although gnome shell isn't working as expected).
Regards.

[Savvas Radevic (medigeek)]

It's not the gnome-shell package -- gjs needs a rebuild and a bump of xulrunner-1.9.2 in debian/rules

[Savvas Radevic (medigeek)]

Adding patch to resolve the issue

There's a problem with xulrunner-1.9.2 and gjs. See Bug #537903

[vince (vince06fr)]

not resolve for me!

"Les paquets suivants contiennent des dépendances non satisfaites :

[Savvas Radevic (medigeek)]

@vince: I guess you are using a french mirror.
Set it to the main mirror at menu: System -> administration ->
software sources -> Download from: "Main server". Then "Close" and
"Reload". I don't know the naming in French :)

[rabid9797 (rabid9797)]

@Savvas

I don't think this is a problem with what mirror is being used. I use a server from the US(and have tried using the main server as well) and I'm still seeing this bug. A fix may have been released but it has not been committed to the repositories. For those of us who don't know how to use debdiff to build a new verzion of libgjs0, we are still out of luck.

[Savvas Radevic (medigeek)]

I disagree, I use main mirror and it looks fine:

oh sh#t we so desperately need a "Related bugs" manually editable section up on the right hand side panel.

[Sue Ori (orisue)]

I also still have the issue. 64bit version 10.04.
Gnome-shell stopped working after standard daily update... :(
Trying to install gnome-shell gives back the dependency error for libgjs0.
Trying to install that libgjs0 package refers to the xulrunner error.
Die folgenden Pakete haben nicht-erfüllte Abhängigkeiten:
  libgjs0: Hängt ab: xulrunner-1.9.2 (<= 1.9.2.4~) aber 1.9.2.6+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.10.04.1 soll installiert werden

Still not solved...

[aaron.w.ball (aaron-w-ball)]

Same issue here.

More specifically though:
I added the ricotz/testing ppa and installed. When running "gnome-shell --replace", gnome-shell crashed and reverted back to metacity. The reason for that is related to another bug (some dependency problem). Either way, I removed gnome-shell with purge. I then removed the repo and ran "apt-get update". After that I tried installing gnome-shell and received the error

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  gnome-shell: Depends: libgjs0 but it is not going to be installed
