If "aptitude update" (or "apt-get update") doesn't fix the broken packages error, that means the packages available from your sources are in a bad state. I'd trim my "/etc/apt/sources.list" file down to the official Debian repositories (that is, get rid of the Alioth sources, etc). Once you have a working system again, you can try the Alioth way again.
