Well, isn't this what's happening now?
As it seems below, package zlib1g (= 1:1.2.7.dfsg-4) is not available.

# apt-cache policy zlib1g
zlib1g:
  Installed: 1:1.2.7.dfsg-7
  Candidate: 1:1.2.7.dfsg-7
  Version table:
 *** 1:1.2.7.dfsg-7 0
        500 http://ftp.gr.debian.org/debian/ unstable/main i386 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     1:1.2.7.dfsg-1 0
        500 http://ftp.gr.debian.org/debian/ testing/main i386 Packages

Even more, zlib1g (= 1:1.2.7.dfsg-4) is the only one not showing here:
