1159 is very little... chello.nl, dus ook Nederland...
Try changing your /etc/apt/sources.list into:
deb ftp://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free
deb ftp://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib non-free
deb ftp://security.debian.org stable/updates main contrib non-free
And run apt-get update agains, that should give you a lot more packages.
After that try apt-get upgrade, that SHOULD upgrade all you're installed
packages to the newest stable version (latest slink version).
After that you can add packages simply by: apt-get install <package(s)>
You should also try dpkg -a --configure
If nothing works... check the force options in dpkg, maybe some can help
you out.
