If it was the *first* use of apt-get update, in the sequence that I outlined,
you were not sucessful in your install of Woody. You can save a lot of time
in debugging this, by not attempting to go on until you have Woody correctly
installed. 

Can you post your /etc/apt/sources.list files? 
i.e. the one that you were using to complete your install of Woody, and the
one that you used in the attempt to migrate to Sarge (Actually, I'm not 
much interested in the second at this stage, since I'm thinking that there
is something wrong with the install of Woody.)
