Package libpam-systemd version 215-8 is current in Testing.

What is the output of:

  apt-cache policy libpam-systemd

Try (guessing) this:

  dpkg --configure -a

And specifically forcing the specific versions (more guessing):

  apt-get install libdbus-1-3=1.8.12-3 libpam-systemd=215-8

Instead of jumping straight to 'apt-get dist-upgrade' it is always
better to run 'apt-get upgrade' individually first.  It will avoid a
lot of problems by doing the simple stuff first.  Suggest:

  apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade
