Hmm. This is not good .... mixing "testing" and "stable" is a baaad idea. They have different dependencies. If you want testing change stable/woody to "testing" throughout. If your system is already broken I suggest you use aptitude to remove offending packages. The best thing is probably to remove all non-essential programs, stablise the system so that everything is working properly and then add what you need.
