I'm guessing you were blind sided because you have 'testing' in your
source.list rather than a code name ie squeeze|wheezy. If that is indeed
the case you should change your habits. It's no different than if you're
running Sid at the moment. There will be a flood of all sorts of
unexpected things that are not documented (yet) because of the release.
Actually, a broken system would be what I expect out of all that. Pay
close attention of whats is really going down each time you run a
package manager and read at least this list.
