That looks like a problem.  You have unstable version of gcc-4.4-base

when you try to install g++ which has dependency on gcc-4.4-base, it
is trying to revert the gcc-4.4-base to that of squeeze (4.4.2-9).
Install the package "apt-show-versions", that could show your what is
installed and from which version.
So either revert gcc-4.4-base to that of squeeze or uncomment the sid
line, do an update and install "aptitude -t unstable install g++" to
get sid version.



The unstable/sid doesn't have to be comment out. Setting the default release will keep the system tracked to, in this case, testing.

How did the packages  from sid get installed in the first place? If you're tracking something, you have to give it an explicit "aptitude install -t sid <package>" command, right?
