That also hapenned to me on one box. One of the repositories was pointing 
to "stable" and after doing an "apt-get update && apt-get -V upgrade" I 
got over 400 new packages :-)

Of course, I said "no" to the question about the upgrade.

dpkg -l <package_name> will tell what version is installed.

Change that to "lenny"

Change that to "lenny".

Okay, at least your "libdvdcss2" probably came from D-M testing... 

Hum, what hapenned with debian-multimedia lenny packages, are they gone? 
I see this notice:

***
07/02/2011 :
Oldstable is completely broken and I can't restore this release, so the 
best is to remove Oldstable.
Sorry

So, no more packages for lenny on D-M?
