Because you selected some new package (from unstable?) and refused to
upgrade some key package (libc6ß), so these packages can't be
installed any more? Or maybe you hit "-" on one of the section titles
in dselect.

If you are still on the screen, hit Ctrl-c. Otherwise check
/var/lib/dpkg.
You should have multiple status* files which are backups of the
selection. So cp status-old status for example, to get the state in
this file.
