Did you use repositories other then debian.org repositories for your
Debian version?
What programm did you use for the upgrade? My advise: use apt-get.
Is this Debian stable?
While doing an upgrade, you will see a list with packages what are
upgraded or removed. Read it, and stop when you see strange things
happening.
