Apparently you haven't installed all packages you need.

Please fetch one of these files (depending on your version
of Debian):

ftp://ftp.debian.org/pub/debian/dists/potato/Contents-i386.gz
ftp://ftp.debian.org/pub/debian/dists/slink/Contents-i386.gz
ftp://ftp.debian.org/pub/debian/hamm/Contents-i386.gz

And zgrep to find out which package is missing.

Regards,

	Joey
