remove the "stable" entries from your sources.list... it is very
unlikely you have any stable packages installed because unstable

get more RAM
create another swap partition
create a swap file
don't post HTML... nothing to do with the update problem, but making
us downloading a 17K message when a couple of K would do is just not
very nice
