My bad. In your original post your sources.list included the CDs for Lenny, so I just assumed you were running testing. In any case, this was your error: libssl-dev: Depends: libssl0.9.8 (= 0.9.8c-4) but 0.9.8e-4 is to be installed So, the libssl-dev it knows about is version 0.9.8c-4. However, it the libssl0.9.8 it knows about is 0.9.8e-4. What is the output of 'apt-cache policy libssl-dev libssl0.9.8' ?

Yeah I don't really have any policies with the repositories or
anything maybe they are out of date?
On my Etch system, this is what I have:
