Sorry. Didn't work. I set the repository to:

http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free 

(as i lack the insight in Debian to find a more relevant one) and ran:

aptitude update
aptitude dist-upgrade

Result: first the update disabled my keyboard and locked up ssh. After that it 
started asking questions! :) I think on font update.
The only way out was to mouse-click the power-down button and attempt a 
restart.

As a result, the system as such is still workable, but apt-get, aptitude etc 
is completely borked. 

So, if i may draw a quick conclusion: Nope. Didn't work.

I strongly assume that it's a KB40 error (the source of the fault located 40 
cm. behind my keyboard) - i probably selected the wrong repository. Any 
suggestions to a better one, please ?

Have fun & Happy New Year -
