That looks like your gnome-system-tools package is still at version
2.20.0-2. An up-to-date Sid mirror should have version 2.22.0-1, which
depends on liboobs-1-4. It could be that some other dependency block the
upgrade, but such problems should eventually sort themselves out.

If the problem does not go away on its own: Add the Sid sources again,
run "apt-get update" and check with

apt-cache policy gnome-system-tools

which versions of gnome-system-tools are available. It should be
possible to upgrade to version 2.22.0-1 once the liboobs transition is
complete. (I don't run Gnome myself, so I cannot easily check what the
status is right now.)
