I used the line you provided and the old one for non-free.  I repeated all 
the steps, cleaned, updated, upgraded, dist-upgraded.  Same exact 
results.  I commented out the old non-free source, repeated the above.  
Some upgrades were made, non germain to this topic.  Installed the 
nvidia-kernel-source and common, then uncommented out the non-free source 
and tried to add nvidia-glx.  same error.  Same story with ia32-libs.

I must be doing something wrong, but short of a complete re-install can't 
imagine what.  And my understanding of debian indicates that would not 
fix anything, but duplicate this same issue anyway.

Sources:

deb http://bytekeeper.as28747.net/debian-amd64/debian/ sarge main contrib 
deb http://bytekeeper.as28747.net/debian-amd64-alioth-old/debian-pure64/ 
sarge non-free  

Everything else is commented out (I added xfce4.2 for amd64).
