unmet problems with sarge

Why in sarge there is quite lot of unmet dependencies problems?

I have a basic sources.list for sarge
could someone post a working sources.list for having libxss1 ?

Thank you

Code:

 apt-get install libxss-dev -f

Reading Package Lists... Done

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have

requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable

distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

or been moved out of Incoming.



Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that

the package is simply not installable and a bug report against

that package should be filed.

The following information may help to resolve the situation:



The following packages have unmet dependencies:

  libxss-dev: Depends: x11-common but it is not going to be installed

              Depends: libxss1 (= 1:1.1.0-1) but it is not going to be installed

              Depends: x11proto-scrnsaver-dev but it is not going to be installed

              PreDepends: x11-common (>= 1:1.09) but it is not going to be installed

E: Broken packages

A sure way to break Sarge is to try installing packages from unofficial sources. If you want to do that, upgrade to Etch. If you want Sarge, leave it alone. "Stable" means just that. Don't add things from outside repositories.

Would you have good repositories sources.list ?
