dependencies

I'm trying to install under RVM the Ruby Enterpise (REE) under debian

My debian is squeeze (uname -r)

2.6.18-194.26.1.el5.028stab070.14xen

i did try to install ree but it complains that it is missing libssl-dev and libreadline5-dev. I did update my lenny to squeeze, but i didn't update the kernel, since its a production server.

The operational system is already updated and upgraded

sources.list:

deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main 
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main

I did try to install it using the following command:

apt-get install libssl-dev libreadline5-dev

But unfortunately i'm getting the following problems:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  libreadline5-dev: Depends: libncurses5-dev but it is not going to be installed
  libssl-dev: Depends: libssl0.9.8 (= 0.9.8o-4squeeze1) but 0.9.8o-6 is to be installed
E: Broken packages

I was thinking to reinstall those packages and install again, but it has too many dependencies, and it is a production server, that i would like to know if there is any other way to fix it. Or at least to double check if it is necessary to reinstall both :-/
