Package xserver-xorg-video-intel is not available, but is referred to by
another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

Ah, here are the message. Please disregard my recent post to your
original message. Aptitude is telling you what the problem is (missing,
obsoleted or available from another source). Did you check ubuntu's
website about this package? For hardy, look here:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/xserver-xorg-video-intel



Weird huh ? It just started doing this.

What does the following give?
$> aptitude why-not xserver-xorg-video-intel

And the following.
$> apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-video-intel
