apt-get install synaptic

Use it for all your apt needs.

You might have to change to testing or unstable to get amsn.

you can still use gaim or everybuddy...to be able to chat on msn.

apt-get install amsn

Edit: opps sorry, nvm

This page contains a good install guide.

Seems to me that you are trying to install an old version of tcl/tk.

Where you got that amsm package ?

If it was not from your apt-get (maybe you downloaded it from the net?) you are going to run into that dependency problems. You would need to update your whole distribution to 'sarge' probably.
