[Scribus] Simple question on woody installation

I'd like to install scribus 1.1.7 on woody, and have followed the
directions concerning sources.list and pinning that are found on the
scribus web site. When I run apt-get install scribus, I (naturally)
get a long list of unsatisfied dependencies. I have an elementary
question on the interpretation of this list..
For example,
scribus: Depends: libart-2.0-2 (>= 2.3.16) but 2.3.8-1 is to be
installed
I first check to see what I have:
$ ldconfig -p | grep libart
libart_lgpl.so.2 (libc6) => /usr/lilb/libart_lgpl.so.2
So, I don't have libart and need to install it. In the statement
above, I gather it says that scribus 1.1.7 needs at least version
2.3.16, and the highest version available for installation is 2.3.8-1.
What is meant by, "is to be installed"? Did it fail simply because it
depended on another package that is not installed?
I run
$ apt-show-versions -a -p libart
Not installed
No stable version
No testing version
No unstable version
And infer there's no .deb packages available to me, so I must compile
2.3.8-1 from source. What is the best way of locating that source?
I come across this information merely by accident:
Version: 2.3.16-0+woody1
Distribution: unstable
Why didn't apt-show-version report it?
This line:
Depends: libfontconfig1 (>= 2.2.1) but it is not going to be
installed
I don't understand why the first example says it is to be installed,
but the second says it is not going to be installed.
