Hmmm. I really recommend resetting your rootstrap to get out of that hole.

However you might still want to try force installing  xtrans-dev with dpkg
Probably something like

dpkg --force-all /var/cache/apt/archives/xtrans-dev_1.0.0-4_all.deb
then
apt-get -f install

Btw, I'm almost finished with the Sardine setup instructions.
