Hmm. This is not good .... mixing "testing" and "stable" is a baaad idea.
They have different dependencies. If you want testing change
stable/woody to "testing" throughout.
If your system is already broken I suggest you use aptitude to
remove offending packages. The best thing is probably to remove
all non-essential programs, stablise the system so that everything is
working properly and then add what you need.
