I downloaded 5 DVD Lenny 5.0.4.

Why wouldn't it be this?

Because he's using the aptitude tui (should that be c(urses)ui?). If a
referenced package is not available, then it shows (UNAVAILABLE) next to
the package name.
How would aptitude know about angband if OP didn't put non-free in
sources.list?
When dealing with Sid, it's common to have packages that depend on
packages that don't seem to exist, which leads to no end of frustration.
I can't say whether it should be possible under Lenny/stable, but it
happens in Sid frequently (since renaming and other transitions occur
there) and occasionally in testing.
