I dont' know, but if You are use the german mirror it could be happened
try:
entry in your /etc/apt/sources.list
# begin of file /etc/apt/sources/list
# Remember that you can only use http, ftp or file URIs
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian slink main contrib non-free
#end of file
and than if You like to upgrade Your whole distribution:
apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade
if Your not sure, or like to see what happened if You do this
type before the above line, first
apt-get -s update; apt-get -s dist-upgrade
which give Your a overlook what would happen if You really start
the apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade
note:
if You like this:
you have to install xterm and xmodmap and also Your xfont-upgrades via
apt-get update xterm; apt-get install xterm
apt-get update xmodmap; apt-get install xmodmap
etc, ....
You also can install only packages via install like
the above lines,
apt-get will handle the dependencies itself, no matter and You don't
need to handle dependencies Yourself
