This is the problem. You are using 'sarge' version for the main archive, 
but 'stable' for security updates. 'etch' is the new stable version of 
Debian so you are mixing distributions.

Change the line:

deb http://amd64.debian.net/debian sarge main contrib non-free

to

deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian etch main contrib non-free

and apt-get update. You should read the release notes at 
http://www.debian.org before upgrading to etch fully - it will give the 
best procedure to use.
