`aptitude install -f' unexpectedly shows many broken packages

Hi all,

some weeks ago I freshly installed Dapper Flight 6 on my laptop.
Today an upgrade of gdm failed (meanwhile I solved it). At first I
tried `aptitude install -f' and was very surprised about the long
output, you can find here:
http://www.zvisionwelt.de/tmpdownloads/install-f

There are many broken packages and packages with unmet dependencies.
Lots of packages are to be removed and others are not installable.
Quite strange IMO. Or is it normal? At least it doesn't seem to be
easy to resolve the problems. And why update-manager says
everything's ok?

Here are the entries of my sources.list:
