It is very strange, because postgis has very few dependency 
requests, not involving geos or other packages available on 
gfoss.it: http://packages.debian.org/lenny/postgis

So I suspect that synaptic is somewhat confused. I use dselect or 
aptitude which are more hard to use than synaptic, but they are 
more powerful on managing conflicts.

You can try to remove postgis an reinstall it afterwards. The 
postgis package does not affect your existing geo-databases. 

Removing postgresql-8.3-postgis instead, will leave yuor 
geo-database unusable (may be not corrupted, but I don't assure 
that).
