woody upgrade issues

[Chris Zubrzycki <beren@mac.com>]

Ok, new to testing. I installed potato, then added the testing lines in 
sources.list. i then proceded to screw up the upgrade by using 
dselect :-)

then i reinstalled potato, and am doing an apt-get dist-upgrade;apt-get 
upgrade

but why does it say some packages are being help (mysql-server, and 
others) are being held, and it can;t find packages such as samba, 
xfree86-common, sysvinit and others)

is there a faq or anything i can try? should i take the stable lines out 
of sources.list?

thanks for the help
