  It's largely a debian packaging problem.

  What are you trying to do?  Install FreeRADIUS as a debian package, or build it from source?

  You've edited your debian configuration to use a non-standard package location.  If you know how to do that... you should be able to fix this issue yourself.

  The packages are broken.

  Delete them, and install the normal Debian packages.  Or, build FreeRADIUS from source.
