"Go back, you are going the wrong way"   ;-)

First error:  it's " sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade "
for a distro upgrade from one version to another ( Edgy --> Feisty )

Second error: This method is now deprecated. At the least you should have
used aptitude:  " sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude dist-upgrade &&
sudo aptitude dist-upgrade "

Third error: You should have read
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FeistyUpgrades  ;-)

Which among other useful information, suggests re-running the dist-upgrade
a second time, running  sudo apt-get -f install  etc etc....

It also suggests running 

gksu mkdir /root/.gnupg

and

gksu "update-manager -d" 

So, sounds like you gave yourself minimal chances of success ;-)
