What error do you get?

Non-dpkg (not from a deb) or non-apt (a local package)?

 Previously I've done all installs and upgrades with apt-get.  I started 
 this system with sarge, and successfully upgraded to etch a couple of 
 years ago and have kept etch upgraded.  I've tried apt-get -f 
 dist-upgrade and aptitude dist-upgrade with same results.
