Aptitude--How to fix broken package


I'm not sure why sendmail-bin is showing up as broken in aptitude or how to fix it?

In aptitude, when I expand sendmail-bin, it depends on (among others)
libsas12 which is "(UNAVAILABLE)".

Source Pakage: sendmail
--\ Depends
--- sendmail-base
--- sendmail-cf
[snip]
--- libsas12 (>= 2.1.19.dfsg1) (UNAVAILABLE)

If I search at http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages#view for libsas12, I
get:
Can't find that package, at least no in that suite on that architecture.

My sources.list is:
deb http://ftp.freenet.de/debian stable main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org stable/updates
deb http://dotdeb.pimpmylinux.org/ stable all

Correction: libsas12 is actually spelled with an the letter 'l', libsasl2.
When I do "apt-cache search libsasl2"
I get back results. In fact, aptitude shows libsasl2 as being installed.
