Modify your debian sources in /etc/ap/sources.list, and do :

apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade

You may need to correct many erros and do 'apt-get dist-upgrade' or 'apt-
get upgrade' many times.

dselect is also supposed to upgrade Debian with much care :

- 'Update' the package list first
- 'Install' without selection (new package should be automatically
selected)
