I've seen similar things. I think it's just the package server (mirror) that is in the process of being updated itself. As a result, your local updating algorithm sees version conflicts it can only resolve by removing lots of packages.

Whenever you see lots of packages that are going to be removed, or even a single one that is important for you and not somehow obsolete, just say no to apt-get and try again the next day. Most distributions have a way to consult their package archives online to see which package is at what version; use that for reference.
