I think I've entered what's called "Dependency Hell." Here's what I get
when I try to install stellarium-0.8.1-1.i386.deb or whatever:
Unpacking stellarium (from stellarium_0.8.1-1_i386.deb) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of stellarium:

I've been able to install version 0.7.0.1 using apt-get and have done it
many times. I figured 0.8.0.1 would install okay with dpkg. No dice. Any
help or suggestions would be appreciated.
