I brought a woody box up to sid the other day, and dist-upgrade doesn't
help with it, you must do the loop break like the error message says (or
install manually like Mike ended up doing).  It's because of the g++ 3.x
ABI upgrade, all of pam must upgrade at the same time, so there's no order
for apt to install things in that won't leave the system broken for a
short period of time...
