I'm not sure we should do this: The version you had installed is from
woody, and we don't support upgrades from woody to etch. Everybody
should bring their machines to sarge first. There's hardly any package
that would then not need a version if you depend on it if we don't draw
a line somewhere - and by Debian's general policy this line is upgrades
from stable-1 to stable are supported, but not from stable-2 to stable
(and analogous for testing).
You should really check your sources.list and run apt-get (or aptitude)
dist-upgrade to make sure that you have an up-to-date system, in
particular when you start using unstable packages.
