	It's because Debian has finally implemented the ``testing''
	distributions. It is a distributions sitting between the stable
	(potato) and the new unstable (sid). New package goes into
	unstable, and 14 days later, if no bugs were found it goes into
	testing (woody). For more details, consult the debian-devel
	archive (search for ``testing to be implemented on
	ftp-master'').

	So you need to change woody to unstable (of sid) in your
	sources.list and to do and apt-get update.
