You literally have the word "oldstable" in your sources.list for your
main Debian repository? That's a really unsound practice. It will lead
to unexpected release upgrades (or worse, unexpected *failed* release
upgrades).
You also have multiple third-party repositories in your sources.list.
It's strongly recommended that you remove those during the release
upgrade. You may or may not also have to remove the *packages* that
came from them. It'll be on an "at your own risk" basis if you don't.
