I'm fairly sure the upgrade from Sarge to Lenny is not supported. For one
thing, the upgrade from Sarge to Etch was problematic for many people,
especially those who didn't read the release notes before trying to
upgrade.

This doesn't look like you have a correct /etc/apt/sources.list for an
dist-upgrade of a Debian stable release.

I think you should have done Sarge-->Etch first, then Etch-->Lenny by
following the installation guide for each one and after reading the
release notes. Maybe a clean install would be a better choice (faster and
easier).
