Usually, this problem simply means that the packages have been updated since
you last did "aptitude update".

Since it's hoary, you could simply remove the security repository and get
the original hoary package, but there's probably a really good reason why
there was a security update for that package...

Note: of course you have the same problem with kynaptic.  All debian package
handling interfaces use the same underlying mechanisms.
