[Debian] can't upgrade from slink to potato

[Nico De Ranter <nico@sonycom.com>]

Howdy,

I'm trying to upgrade my slink system to potato (I need a newer
ppp version).  I first used dselect to have a look at the new
package in potato but when I run "apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade"
apt tells me there are no packages to upgrade.  Apparently apt thinks
my system is already up-to-date.  Any idea how I can convince apt
to do the upgrade anyway?
