Not installable due to package conflict

[Victor Westerhuis]

When I try to install the gnome meta-package it fails, saying it can't install swfdec-mozilla. When I install this package and then try again to install the gnome package it says it needs epiphany-extensions, which in turn depends on epiphany-browser. Because epiphany-browser and swfdec-mozilla conflict, the gnome meta-package can not be installed.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Try to install the "gnome" package, it will complain about needing swfdec-mozilla
2. Install swfdec-mozilla, return to Synaptic and try again to install the gnome package
3. It will complain about needing epiphany-extensions
4. Try to install epiphany-extensions and you will see that swfdec-mozilla needs to be removed
