Thanks again hob. I do generaly use aptitude. I did as you suggested:
:~$ aptitude -s dist-upgrade

No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed.
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 0B of archives. After unpacking 0B will be used.
Would download/install/remove packages.
I also filed this bug report:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...pt/+bug/104542
I'm thinking the bug is in adept and that there isn't a version upgtade available [Feisty Testing to Feisty Release???]. I installed Feisty Testing some time ago but I think if I have the Feisty sources list that I automagically have the latest version of Feisty. I'm certainly no expert though, could also be wrong.
Sources.list:
