  dselect makes the dependency chains a bit more visible. 
  It doesn't show any broken packages, only some unsatisfiable dependencies.
  Some of the are real package bugs (sshfs/fuse) others are incorrectly handled 
  cross-architecture dependencies or versioning problems (libgtk2.0-0:i386 
  2.8.0 vs. 2.24.6-0ubuntu6)

  ia32-libs depends on ia32-libs-multiarch
  ia32-libs-multiarch does not appear to be available
  sshfs depends on fuse (>= 2.7)
  fuse does not appear to be available
  nspluginwrapper depends on nspluginviewer (= 1.4.4-0ubuntu3)
  nspluginviewer does not appear to be available
