Suggests that it did not work. I would revert your sources file before
continuing.
It's been a while since i last used debian. But the procedure back then was
to edit the sources and run 'apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade' which
will upgrade every package to the latest version, including those that
require removal of other packages (by removing them first).
It is not as safe as a normal upgrade but is required to move from one
version to another.
Ubuntu has the 'do-release-upgrade' command which simplifies this
procedure, I am not sure if debian have adopted it or not, its worth using
if they have.
As always, especially at this point, it is a dangerous procedure so ensure
you have made any backups you require before proceeding. I would also
prepare for the possibility of needing a reinstall in case the worst
happens.
