I did an apt-get update today and then a dist-upgrade without any problem. I can see two possibilities for the fact that the problem currently seems resolved:
1. apt-get really has a randomly occurring bug. 2. The mirrors were temporarily distributing incorrect lists of packages and that caused apt-get to misbehave. If the problem is due to the 2nd possibility, I would suggest that apt-get should perform a bit more self-analysis so as to produce informative error messages. I'm still surprised that apt-get reported that some packages were not available to fulfill dependencies even though those packages were reported by dpkg as already installed.
