Does your /etc/apt/sources.list reference woody or stable?
They used to be the same, but now there is a new stable, sarge. So if
you reference stable, a lot of your packages are now regarded as
obsolete. You should either reference woody explicitly or do a complete
upgrade (recommended!) using the instructions in the release notes at
