I saw this line in addition to the failed dependencies..
serious bugs of gstreamer0.10-gconf (-> 0.10.30-1) <unfixed>

>From what I've read I don't think it will. If it is what I suspect,
you will have to edit the mime type by hand. I saw this while I was
tracking down another problem about six months ago for my own video
issues with transcoding files. For apt to fix it someone would have
had to written a script to remove the wrong entry from your nautilus
configuration file. Since it's hard for a script to evaluate what
should and should not be present, it may require a human touch.

You could try apt-get purge <gstream...> and start installing gstreamer again.

You could try using apt -f as suggested to resolve all the individual
failed dependencies. Or you might have to download and build gstreamer
yourself as a backport, or could try apt-get dist-upgrade to upgrade
the distribution files.  But I think it would be better to investigate
the mime types registered with nautilus.

Does the file manager not run at all, or does it run but is glitchy.
as in it is locked in one directory and unable to change directories?
