They are all important lines, sometime's you have to read between them.

You mean your malfunctioning Nautilus doesn't use mime types?

It doesn't start at all, or it starts and doesn't parse and display
directory contents.

Unmet dependencies are not quite the same as not being installed
properly. That message says in effect, it should work when you meet
those dependencies. How you meet them is up to you.

Each of those packages that apt cannot handle at this time may be
compiled and installed one at a time to meet those unmet dependencies.

Personally, I have never been able to keep a gnome system which deals
with video and audio streaming without having to hand bomb something
into the configuration.
