I don't see anything obviously wrong so I've included an extract of the stdout from apt-get and attached some of my /etc/apt/* files.

How do I persuade apt-get that I do not need to download over 1.5Gb as I am running SuSE 8.0 installed onto bare metal?
Do you have ximian in /etc/apt/sources.list? Better remove it because else apt-get tries to replace the better part of the installed packages with ximian equivalents (leaving open the question whether the ximian packages realy are good equivalents - I don't know ;-).
