Are you really wanting to upgrade to the next version(dist-upgrade)
or just wanting to upgrade your current version(safe-upgrade preferred).
you must be fully up-to-date on your current distribution to safely 
upgrade to the next version. If you want to upgrade to the next version
try this:
sudo aptitude update      then
sudo aptitude safe-upgrade

Assuming everything completes without error then if you really want
to upgrade to the next version(hardy to intrepid for example) do
sudo aptitude dist-upgrade.  Or better, do a dist-upgrade from "package
manager".  HTH.
