I like to upgrade in steps,
apt-get upgrade
Then if there are any packages that fail do: dpkg --configure -a
Then incrementally get the system installed by those 2 commands.
Upgrades any packages that have direct replacements,
apt-get dist-upgrade
Upgrades packages that require new packages, conflicts or removes packages.
Then same as above if there are any problems on this stage.
