Ahhh, woody is now the "testing" distribution which doesn't necessarily 
have everything available.  If the package (any version, I think) has a 
bug filed against it at or above a certain severity level, then it won't 
get into testing.  So, you have 2 possible solutions:

1. Upgrade to unstable (sid); note that it IS unstable sometimes.
2. Add a "stable" version of that line so that it can get packages from 
potato if they're missing from woody.
