Suggestion that original install of Woody was messed up are clearly
contradicted by new data. Forget them.

It looks like your errors are all on non-US Sarge stuff. This
shouldn't be happening but the work around is easy:

Eliminate non-US lines from sources.list.

Changes in US Govt regulations allow export of cryptographic software
by organizations such as Debian, so all the crypto stuff is in the
main repository. Non-US is still useful for international distribution
of software that is patented in US but is legally distributable
elsewhere, but you probably don't want to go there, so don't.

Also there is a mirror at cudenver that might be useful locally.

Hope this gets you on your way,

Paul
