python-sip4 [Not Installed]
python2.4-sip4-qt3 [4.3.2-0ubuntu2 (now)]

Downgrade the following packages:
libgl1-mesa-dev [6.5.1+cvs20060824 (now) -> 6.5.1~20060817-0ubuntu3 
(edgy, edgy)]
libgl1-mesa-dri [6.5.1+cvs20060824 (now) -> 6.5.1~20060817-0ubuntu3 
(edgy, edgy)]
mesa-common-dev [6.5.1+cvs20060824 (now) -> 6.5.1~20060817-0ubuntu3
