How to reproduce: 
  Install a woody chroot with fetchmail (which depends
  on fetchmail-common). Retarget apt at sarge.
  apt-get -f dist-upgrade
  will not upgrade fetchmail because this involve removing fetchmail-common.
  aptitude install fetchmail -f
  will propose to fix that.

Solution: 
  Use 'aptitude dist-upgrade' instead. This will remove fetchmail-common
  for you. 'aptitude dist-upgrade' is the recommended way to upgrade to
  sarge.

Thanks for your reports,
