   I don't know. I've seen that "but it is not going to be installed"
message many times when trying to install packages (from the official Debian
repository) on Debian. Apt-get is most unhelpful when it comes to error
messages, basicly just saying: "I know exactly what the problem is, but I
won't tell you." :-(

   But, to try to debug the problem, what happens if you say

# apt-get --dry-run install python-pygtk python-subprocess

?
