    Sarge = testing
    Sid = unstable
    Which one? If you use aptitude, it can be configured to give warning of
    broken packages and bugs before you commit to the upgrade. I know this
    is a bit "after the horse has bolted" but may help in future.

    Meanwhile, you may get some help if you post some more info.
