1. change distribution in your sources.list to 'lenny' or 'testing' (latter works until official Lenny release); 2. 'aptitude update' 3. 'aptitude install dpkg apt aptitude' 4. 'aptitude full-upgrade' If something went bad, don't hesitate to do 'reportbug upgrade-reports'. You also can use apt-get instead of aptitude, but aptitude is usually more clever than apt-get.
