sarge main contrib non-free (all from the US, no security)
lenny main (from the US, no security)
(no sources are apparent)
So his /etc/apt/sources.list is probably a little something like this
(based on parsing through the errors provided):
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ sarge main contrib non-free
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ etch main
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ etch main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ lenny main
This is constructed from the entire error list he posted:

Joysankar,
You need to clean your /etc/apt/sources.list file and pick one
distribution to track. The recommended option, of course, is squeeze,
the next release after lenny. If you decide to stick with one of the
releases you're using here, pick lenny and point to archive.debian.org
rather than ftp.us.debian.org.
Then run the usual apt-get update. You should probably do an apt-get
dist-ugprade as well. I suspect this system is a little screwed up if
this the apparent state of /etc/apt/sources.list is as indicated by
the errors you posted.
