How does your sources.list look?

sources.list:

#
# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 r4a _Etch_ - Official i386 CD
Binary-1 20080803-21:07]/ etch contrib main

# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 r4a _Etch_ - Official i386 CD
Binary-1 20080803-21:07]/ etch contrib main

# Line commented out by installer because it failed to verify:

# Line commented out by installer because it failed to verify:

You might need to add a mirror.  I think with that sources.list you'd only be able to install security updates.

Try adding a line like:

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian etch main

then run "aptitude update" and try it again.
