I suspect you're a victim of the change of policy of backports. Add the
following to /etc/apt/preferences:

-------------------------------------
Package: postgresql-8.1
Pin: release a=sarge-backports
Pin-Priority: 999

Package: lsb-base
Pin: release a=sarge-backports
Pin-Priority: 999

Package: ssl-cert
Pin: release a=sarge-backports
Pin-Priority: 999
-------------------------------------

Then try installing postgres again.
