Brezzy -> Dapper upgrade gone horibly wrong

I tried to upgrade my laptop from Brezzy ti Dapper. What I did was:

1. Chane all occurunces of Brezzy to dapper in /etc/souces.list
2. apt-get update
3. apt-get dist-upgrade.

This failed while it was running, and now I have a real mess. X doesn't work, the wireless card
doesn't work etc.

Here's what apt-get dist-upgrade is saying now:

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these.

Is there any hope for resolving this, short of wiping, and reinstalling?
