The archive seems to be confused about what version of commonc++ is in
testing: it has version 1.2.4-2 of most of it (which had libcommonc++1
rather than libcommonc++-1.4), but has a newer version of the -dev
package on a few architectures for some reason. Of course, that newer
package is uninstallable due to exactly the problem you're seeing.
The quickest way to get woody fixed there is to have the newer package
fully installed, but it seems to have a release-critical bug filed
against it. Since the bug tracking system is down, I can't find out what
it is. If it's not something that would affect you, upgrading to the
version in unstable would solve your problem.
