I have the same problem. I saw that all the packages which won't be installed have their path in /unstable/... . The packages which are installed have their path all set to /stable/. I have probably updated my package list with unstable entries which I cannot get rid of now (yes, I used the "clear available package list now" option). Because I set the access method to "stable non-free contrib" the selected unstable packages do not get installed, even if there are stable versions somewhere with older version numbers. I would like to get rid of the old package entries, but I am afraid using rm -f for this...
