Well, fix that. :-)
loro@debian:~$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
It's a typical cascade of errors caused by the first few individual package dependency problems. Again I don't know what dist-upgrade did, but dselect should recover or at least fix most of the problems, assuming you address the permissions issues in /etc raised by Daniel and point to the right repository. Good luck. Keep posting if you have problems. If may be a hard slog, but you can probably be walked though this.
