I did not see anything critical in that list but it seems that you had
some stuff installed from debian-multimedia which is meanwhile available
in normal Debian. That was probably what screwed up the dist-upgrade to
Etch. (I think that this mentioned explicitly in the release notes,
BTW.)
As I said in my other mail: Keep this list around and, once you have
cleaned up your system, you can try to install all these packages (minus
the "lib..." ones) from the normal Debian repositories. After that is
all in place you can activate debian-multimedia again in your
sources.list and install those packages which are still not officially
part of Debian.

It is advisable to change that to "etch". If you keep "stable" then you
might get some unpleasant surprises once Lenny is released.
