This is indeed true and does refer to a version (of libpt-1.10.0) that is currently in lenny/updates which is obsolete.

I suspect that the solution is to get debian-release to remove  libpt-1.10.0 from lenny/updates as it has been superseded in lenny by libpt-1.10.10.

Thanks,
Mark

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies.
