I would not follow through with this.  Aptitude can be handy but you
have to know when to tame it (it can be too aggressive when removing
dependencies.

What version do you have installed? (aptitude show
debian-archive-keyring)?  Compare the version numbers with the ones at
http://packages.debian.org
Which one is actually installed?

At moments like these I tend to remove or comment out repositories that
are not needed and go back to the base system, in this case 64studio and
maybe the version of debian it is based on.

When you get your system stable (either by apt massaging or a clean
reinstall), have a look at this document:
http://wiki.debian.org/AptPinning

Actually, now is also a good time to read it.  It should help to explain
what is going on.

Finally, I have yet to be happy with any of the GUI front ends to apt.
Maybe I am getting set in my ways, but this also means I am not sure how
they work.  Running an apt-get update or and aptitude update should show
you all the sources that you are pulling info from.    Remove or comment
out all the sources that are not part of the base install, and then work
from there.  I know I have said it a couple of times, but get to know
and love http://wiki.debian.org/AptPinning , it will make your life much
easier in the future.

Hth,

| The following packages will be REMOVED:
| aptitude{a} ... and list of others packages
