woody is no longer debian's unstable distribution, its now the
`testing' distribution.  unstable is now and forever more `sid'
(unstable will always be a symlink to sid now).  after packages have
been in sid for 14 days without new release critical bugs filed and
compile properly on all archetectures they are moved into testing.  

so the woody distribution as been rolled back to potato r2, and will
start getting new packages as the testing script installs those that
are worthy.

so if you still want to follow bleeding edge break your system
randomly `unstable' change your apt sources to point at unstable or
sid (both are the same, sid will never be released).  if you instead
want to be more up to date then potato but without the Debian Chaos
Events then follow testing, either by point apt at `testing' or at
woody.

actually it happened several days ago. 

check the archives for debian-devel-announce for the message about
package pools being implemented and testing being implemented for more
details.
