Whew! That is a relief actually - I just replaced a dead hard drive on
this laptop, and am performing a re-install (formerly Ubuntu, now
Debian unstable) and thought maybe I had misconfigured or was missing
something.

After a 'apt-get update' today, while openoffice and gnome are still
broken installs, the Gimp *is* now installable - so I will just keep
checking back for the others. Thanks.
