*None* of the above packages are in woody - even if you're reporting from a
different system, xbase-clients 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 does not exist in pure woody.

Installing woody packages on a sarge/sid system is not, and cannot be, a
supported configuration.

IMHO this bug should be closed, but I'll downgrade it for now and leave that
decision to Branden or Fabbione.
