cannot install all updates



Hi,

Very new to Debian, so far so very very good.

Running Debian Testing, having to relearn a lot as I'm coming from an RPM-based
distro. This one I don't want to leave to trial and error, though.

The update applet is telling me there are updates available, but I get an
error that 'not all updates can be installed'. I've uploaded a screenshot of
what I saw here:

I notice that it says this could be caused by unofficial software sources. This
is my sources.list:

#
# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 r4a _Etch_ - Official i386 NETINST Binary-1
20080804-15:10]/ etch contrib main

# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 r4a _Etch_ - Official i386 NETINST Binary-1
20080804-15:10]/ etch contrib main

deb http://debian.yorku.ca/debian/ testing main non-free contrib
deb-src http://debian.yorku.ca/debian/ testing main non-free contrib

deb http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main contrib
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main contrib

deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org testing main

deb-src http://www.debian-multimedia.org testing main

#deb http://www.os-works.com/debian testing main
#deb-src http://www.os-works.com/debian testing main

deb http://ftp.debian-unofficial.org/debian testing main contrib non-free
restricted

deb-src http://ftp.debian-unofficial.org/debian testing main contrib non-free
restricted

Question is, is there some way to find out more info on what packages are
preventing HAL from being installed? Or _is_ that the question...? Not sure.

Many thanks for any help.
