When doing this on a new system I had a conflict with some package (can't remember which), but it work when issuing "aptitude install nav", try using aptitude instead of apt-get as it seems to be smarter' in some cases.

Actually, Debian recommends using aptitude for all package management, as a replacement for apt-get.

Aptitude knows whether a package has been deliberately installed by you, or just pulled in as a dependency on another package. This means that it is also able to automatically remove unused dependencies as other packages are removed.
