apt-get update doesn't update actual packages.  It updates the list of
available packages.  A new debian stable release (etch) was made a
week or so ago.  Xebian is based on the old stable (sarge).  Try
editing your /etc/apt/sources file and run apt-get update again.
Change all references of 'stable' to 'sarge'.  This may fix your
dependency problem.
