I've said this before, but it is *not* a good idea to do a dist-upgrade 
to Sid on the same partition. I *always* use mondo to backup the Sid 
partition, restore that CD/DVD to another one, from where I do the 
dist-upgrade. If there is a problem I just boot the old partition and do 
the upgrade again a little later.
