You didn't do anything wrong; the upgrade path is complicated by the new
glibc and the GCC 3.x transition for C++ libraries (all of those libs
ending in c102). Unfortunately both APT and aptitude are written in
C++...
I'm a little surprised the release notes recommend upgrading to sarge's
aptitude first, because as you noticed it pretty much upgrades
everything anyway.
