Alrighty, then...
I need to run this by the more experienced. Here's the general situation:
A) Uname info: Linux iGeek-p6200 3.2.0-sabayon #1 SMP Thu May 24 15:59:45 UTC 2012 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU P6200 @ 2.13GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
B) Rigo notification icon -- shows 391 updates as available
C) Equo and Rigo -- neither will allow for an upgrade of the packages, citing a "dependencies not found" message following the "Calculating dependencies..." function of "equo upgrade"
D) The items not found are listed here:

I don't know why or how things got to this lock-up point. I have done vanilla-normal updates regularly for a year with no issues. This recent attempt was the first time I've run into such a problem.
Most times, I am savvy enough to diagnose a problem and find some solution, but this one has me stumped. Anyone have an idea what this may be and how I could resolve, workaround, or cope with the problem?
Thanks.
