That does seem strange. I expect apt to produce version numbers for
the packages listed.
This should install on Lenny okay. I do not have it installed but a
simulation (apt-get install -s) shows:
# apt-get install -s gnome-network-admin
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree

But in Sid/Squeeze it is now a virtual package provided by
gnome-system-tools.
What version of Debian are you trying to install this upon? Lenny,
Squeeze or Sid?

I conclude that your /etc/apt/sources.list file is broken. Please
post the contents of it.
cat /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*
