Sorry for being blunt, but are doing it all wrong. You should read the
release notes [1] and, even more importantly, the upgrade instructions

Upgrading by apt-get is possible but not officially supported. If you
insist on using apt-get, you must at least use the correct command
(apt-get dist-upgrade)
