You could try to download a more recent version of the package (like
the version from testing or unstable) and install that (see
http://packages.debian.org). Then if you want the version that you're
supposed to have, remove the more recent package and install the
package you're supposed to have.
Maybe aptitude will fix it for you, but if you have been using
dselect/apt-get, you need to check very carefully what exactly
aptitude is going to do.
