In general, this is a very difficult problem.
Your easy options:
. restore from backup
or
. change from "stable" to "stretch" and do an apt-get
dist-upgrade to bring you all the way into stretch.
All other options are much, much harder. They tend to work when
you have a few packages that you have installed by mistake, and
not otherwise.
