problems with apt-get upgrade slink -> potato



I tried to do a slink->potato upgrade,
I put the potato debian site in /etc/apt/sources.list, and let go with

atp-get update        <-- works fine...
apt-get dist-upgrade   <-- problems...

Each time I would only get a few files, but after 15-20 tries, I seem to have almost everything;
almost..

But it still seems stuck, some help please?

apt-get suggests: --fix-missing
but then reports that this is an invalid option.
