Hmm, not really according to you dpkg -l, you have an handful of
post-woody package:
+ii dash 0.4.10
+ii gnome-libs-data 1.4.2-8
+ii libc6 2.2.5-14.3
+ii libc6-dev 2.2.5-14.3
+ii libdb1-compat 2.1.3-7
+ii libdb3 3.2.9-17
+ii libdb3-dev 3.2.9-17
+ii libfreetype6 2.1.2-9
+ii libgal19 0.19.3-2.1
+ii libgdk-pixbuf-gnome2 0.20.0-1
+ii libgdk-pixbuf2 0.20.0-1
+ii libgnomeui32 1.4.2-8
+ii libogg0 1.0.0-1
+ii xmms 1.2.7-1.1
But apparently they are not the cause of the problem.

I can reproduce that, I even get a more verbose:
E: Couldn't configure pre-depend mzscheme for drscheme, probably a dependency cycle.
Ack! Something bad happened while installing packages. Trying to recover:
Effectively drscheme Pre-Depends on mzscheme and both packages Replace
themself (hu ?).
Release team, do you know about that issue ?
Doing 'aptitude dist-upgrade -oAPT::Force-LoopBreak=1'
does NOT fix that bug.
Thanks for your problem report,
