Yeah you really need to remove all the ximian packages from your box and
then install the woody ones.  If you leave any ximian packages on there
you could be in for some unexpected and nasty surprises.  You can do a
dpkg --get-selections | grep ximian to find out which packages on your
system are ximian.  I had this problem and tried just apt-get
dist-upgrading and that just brought on a dependency hell where I
couldn't fulfill all dependencies and packages were trying to overwrite
each other.  I eventually just had to wipe it clean and start over with
a fresh install.
