Hmm, that seems normal to me. The new versions of both xlibmesa-gl and
xlibmesa-glu are transitional packages to smooth the upgrade from Sarge
to Etch, therefore I do not immediately understand how they can cause
problems for you.

Again, libfam0c102 on Etch is a transitional package and nothing on your
present system seems to depend on it; I am puzzled why aptitude is
bothered by it.

A common problem for Sarge-Etch transitions is the presence of
non-Debian packages with dependencies that do not fit in the overall
upgrade scheme (Sarge-backports or pre-Sarge packages can also cause
trouble). Check for non-Debian packages on your system by running:

aptitude search '~i!~Odebian'
