Sounds more like you bodged it. "upgraded a number of packages" is
not a good thing to do -- it's a mix between your old testing
distribution and some of unstable. What you should always do is:
edit /etc/apt/sources.list, and s/testing/unstable/g (as an example,
change as appropriate).
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get -u dist-upgrade
when going from one distribution to the other. Of course, the fact
that you have to ask suggests you're unsure. Are you _really_ ready
to be running unstable?
Having a mixture of testing/unstable sources is NOT a good idea, and
you will break your system.
