Package: apt
Version: 0.5.4
Severity: important
Justification: breaks 'pbuilder build' for woody packages that build-depend on 
debhelper

I have a system that has pbuilder installed which provides me with an up to
date woody chroot (using up to date sources
        deb http://ftp.debian.nl/debian woody main contrib non-free
        deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US woody/non-US main contrib 
non-free
):
        pbuilder update --distribution woody
        pbuilder login --distribution woody
In this environment, I get strange behaviour from apt:

        Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
        requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
        distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
        or been moved out of Incoming.

        Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
        the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
        that package should be filed.

Er, how is this strange? This is what you get if you ask for something
impossible. It looks like (your) debconf, debconf-utils and debhelper have
mutually exclusive dependencies. 

You might try:
apt-get install debconf debconf-utils debhelper

And you may be able to better understand the exact nature of the problem.

Er, no it isn't. Debconf in woddy is 1.0.32, you have 1.1.10 installed.

Looks to me like you are trying to mix woody and sid package in a manner
that is not possible.
