apt-upgrade -f
apt-dist upgrade

or

The first works actually

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get dist-upgrade

and you need to change your sources to lenny

you skipped steps recommended in the release notes..

http://www.debian.org/releases/lenny...rading.en.html
4.5.4. Upgrade apt and/or aptitude first

I would proceed more like the following.

change your sources list

aptitude update
aptitude keep-all
aptitude install apt aptitude
aptitude upgrade
aptitude dist-upgrade

There may be other things you should to do to prepare for your upgrade..

I strongly suggest you read the upgrade seciton of the release notes before proceeding,

You read the release notes as you always should.
