FYI, the recommended upgrade procedure includes a step you've omitted
below:

> 1. Test #1 (upgrade)
> 
>    Method:
>    - change "potato" to "woody" in /etc/apt/sources.list
>    - run apt-get update
     - run apt-get install apt apt-utils
>    - run apt-get dist-upgrade
>    - fine tuning using dselect

or even, instead of the last 2 steps, try these:
dselect update
dselect select
apt-get -u dselect-upgrade

good times,
Vineet
