That's odd. I guess it is possibly a timing issue, but you should be
seeing libawl-php version 0.42 and davical version 0.9.8.4 (I just
checked my repository, and that's what I see from it.
I suppose it's possible you did an 'apt-get update' at just exactly the
wrong moment.
What does it say if you:
apt-get update
apt-cache show davical libawl-php
apt-get --verbose -fuyd dist-upgrade
?
Possibly, after apt-get update, you can just:
apt-get -f install davical/0.9.8.4-0
to pull in the correct version.

You could manually download the 0.9.8.4 & 0.42 packages if necessary,
and it's possible that you're running against PostgreSQL 8.1, which is
the real problem.
If you can upgrade to a more recent PostgreSQL that would be great. If
you can't you will have to install the latest DAViCal with a:
dpkg -i --force-depends davical_0.9.8.4-0_all.deb
Since it says it only supports postgres 8.2 and later, though in reality
it actually will work OK with 8.1 and this is an error in the
dependencies that got added when I thought it didn't work with 8.1...
Cheers,
Andrew.
