You are using testing or unstable, aren't you? This phenomenon may be caused when some dependency has changed and one of these packages is not installed on your system or if this package isn't available yet (and will get into the archive later in which case this package will be able to installed later). If the reason is the first point, you can do a dist-upgrade and apt will try to install this package and if necessary remove old packages or install extra ones. The second one is more trickier, you only can wait. This additionally _can_ be caused by false dependencies... Regards, Rene -- .''`.
