One thing I forgot to mention in my first reply:
Sometimes, if you happen to catch a mirror while it is in
the process of updating, you may get a situation where
two packages with dependencies on each other may be in
an inconsistent state. For example, package A may be
at the new level while package B is still at the old level.
In these situations,
aptitude update
aptitude full-upgrade
issued later, after the update is complete,
may be all you need to solve the problem.
