When installing gNewSense, it's best to use the actual gNewSense installer rather than installing Dapper and then installing gNewSense packages over that. Is there a reason you're using the Dapper installer rather than one of the gNewSense installers?
You can find the gNewSense installers (There are both KDE and Gnome installers) http://cdimage.gnewsense.org/ and you'll want either of the 1.1 images. Once installed there will be a taskbar applet notifying you of updates. In the command line interface you can issues the commands "apt-get update" to check the repos for updates and then "apt-get dist-upgrade" to upgrade the packages you've got that are behind.
