I've seen this as well, but attributed it to an old sarge installer which used "testing" instead of "sarge" (or "stable") in the installed sources.list file. In this case, an update from a pre-sarge testing snapshot (is installed by the base system) to a current etch version is attempted. Such cross-release updates are not supported.
