Step 1:  Try `apt-get install deity-curses`
Step 2:  If that didn't work, `apt-get remove console-apt`

Given that nothing deity-related shows up in stable, I must conclude
that you have a testing or unstable version of console-apt.  Problems
like this are a fact of life in unstable and occasionally leak into
testing also.  If you're looking at stable sources now after
installing some unstable packages earlier, well... you can't expect
the dependencies to match up cleanly.
