Sarge is dead.  It no longer gets security updates.  If your machine
is network accessible, you need to upgrade.

/etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://debian.mirror.rafal.ca/debian/ etch main contrib non-free
deb-src http://debian.mirror.rafal.ca/debian/ etch main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org etch main

As root:

   apt-get update && apt-get install aptitude && aptitude update && aptitude dist-upgrade

Now you're running etch.  Bite the bullet!  This really does work, and
you really shouldn't be running software that's not getting security
updates.
