Note: You can use the trick

LC_ALL=C apt-get install xserver-xorg-core

then you will get the unlocalized English messages and you do not have
to translate the output yourself. This trick does not affect you normal
language and localization settings; it will only act on that one
command.

Please send us the output of:

apt-cache policy xserver-xorg xserver-xorg-core x11-common

Problems with xserver-xorg
 

Before typing LC_ALL=C apt-get install xserver-xorg-core I wrote apt-cache policy xserver-xorg xserver-xorg-core x11-common and the output was this one:
xserver-xorg:
Installed:(none)
Candidate:(none)
Version Table:
xserver-xorg-core:
Installed:(none)
Candidate: 2:1.1.1-21etch5
Version Table:
2:1.1.1-21etch5 0
500 http://security.debian.org etch/updates/main Packages
x11-common:
Installed:(none)
Candidate:(none)
Version Table:


What do I do now?. Thanks

It seems that you only have the security server in your sources.list.
You have to edit the file

/etc/apt/sources.list

and add a line like this:

deb http://ftp.es.debian.org/debian/ etch main

You can change the "es" part if you want to use a mirror in another
country. You can find a list of mirrors here:
http://www.debian.org/mirror/

After you have changed /etc/apt/sources.list, run "apt-get update" and
then it should be possible for you to install xorg.

P.S. If you also want "non-free" packages then the line in sources.list
should be like this:

deb http://ftp.se.debian.org/debian/ etch main non-free contrib

For more information run "man sources.list".
