Try to first change your sources.list to sarge,
apt-get update
apt-get install aptitude
and then
aptitude dist-upgrade.

aptitude is a C++ program and support for C++ in hppa-woody is, hum,
limited (e.g. no exception support).

Bill. <ballombe@debian.org> still wondering why we have released woody
on hppa but not sarge on amd64.

Imagine a large red swirl here.
