apt-get update with unstable main Problems
It has been a while since i have written anything to the list but for some very very odd reason I have not been able to do an apt-get update to work properly with unstable main. I have tried to use various sites in the /etc/apt/sources.lists and every one I use gives me the same problem as listed here.

the /etc/apt/sources.lists for the unstable main reads
deb ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main
If I do not have any unstable main in my list file then it runs and updates just nicely but I am not getting the proper updates and upgrades for the unstable and dependencies are not being met. If anyone can help me on this issue. I would totally apprieciate it. Thank you in advance.
ps. I have tried every thing.
