Remove the ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian line from your sources.list, do
apt-get update
apt-get -f install libnet-perl libwww-perl libmd5-perl
Put ftp://... back in your sources.list (assuming you are unhappy with the
speed of ftp1) and then run
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
FTP requires a stack of perl modules, HTTP does not. You want to use HTTP
if you can.
