So you had "stable" there before, and switched them to "sid" to install nagios? If that's the case, then that mixing of stable and sid (unstable) is probably what caused the problem. The best way to fix this is to run "apt-get dist-upgrade" multiple times until it doesn't want to install anything. You will then be running a pure sid system.
