Are you running Stable, Testing, or Unstable?
What does your /etc/apt/sources.list file look like?
If you are running Testing or Unstable, from my experience, meta
packages are broken from time to time due to the constant changing of
individual packages...such as the devs uploading one package that is
newer than the rest so the meta breaks until they upload the entire
group.
