It means that eight packages have unmet dependencies. This is likely 
because some leftover packages from lenny require packages that are no 
longer available in squeeze. Use the aptitude ui to see which packages 
are broken, or do a
 aptitude search ~b
to get a list. This you can then fix.

That 131 packages were upgraded, and the other 713 were not. This is 
likely related to the 8 broken packages. This will require some manual 
effort to fix the stuff.
