You can also install the package manually:

Thanks, Wanderer, dist-upgrade worked fine. Embarrassed to admit I

Not for certain without more information.

The most likely answer is that to upgrade that package, apt-get would
have to install one or more new packages that you don't already have
installed; 'apt-get update' will never install or remove packages, only
upgrade existing ones.

If you want to let it install new packages or remove installed packages
in order to complete the upgrade, run 'apt-get dist-upgrade' instead.

Or you might try using 'apt upgrade' or similar; I don't use the 'apt'
command myself, so I'm not familiar with exactly how things work on that
side of the fence, but I understand that the behavior is different and
it may match more closely to what you're expecting.

Note that the above message is probably not possible with a pure
Debian/stable installation (in particular, no multimedia repo).

In case you want to get rid of the packages from the multimedia repo,
an alternate solution could be:

  apt-get install -t stable vlc-data/stable [...]

with all packages that need to be downgraded. But note that
downgrading packages is not officially supported and may fail or
yield an inconsistent configuration state.

Hm, db5.1-util installed without a problem.

But this:

Run apt-get dist-upgrade, review the list of packages it is planning to
install/uninstall, and if everything looks ok, let it go ahead and do
it.

The apt-get upgrade command will not execute upgrades that require it to
install or uninstall packages.

Wait for the dependencies to be satisfied?

You can have more information with an explicit install of some
given package, e.g.

$ apt install db5.1-util -s

You should get an error message saying why the package cannot be
upgraded.

You installed what? libgnome2-perl? And how did you install it?

 and tried dpkg --configure -a and later dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 but 
 system says /etc/X11/X is not executable.

This sounds like not all the packages necessary for X were
installed/configured. Do you know get any errors from apt-get
dist-upgrade, and if so, what are they?

  so i tried putting in /etc/inittab this:
id:3:initdefault

This is meaningless, unless you've changed runlevel 3 away from the
default. In a default Debian installation, runlevels 2 through 5 are
identical, which is different than some other distros (which often
confuses converts from those distros).

 and also this:
ln -s /dev/null /etc/X11/X
readlink /etc/X11/X | md5sum  /var/lib/xfree86/x.md5sum
  

I have no idea why you would do this. Granted, I'm not a nix-head, but
this makes no sense to me.

dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
but everything fails, always system shows /etc/X11/X is not executable.
  

Exact text of errors please. But actually, I'd rather have the text of
the apt-get command above, rather than this dpkg-reconfigure command.
You might also try using aptitude rather than apt-get.
