lenny  has becoome stable yes but dont remove the unstable as puredyne uses a 
mixture of testing and unstable

the new testing is called squeeze

so change all the lenny entries to squeeze

right now we have a slight problem so leave the GOTO10 repos as lenny

deb http://mirror.ox.ac.uk/debian/ squeeze main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main contrib

# Custom repositories
# GOTO10
deb http://debian.goto10.org/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free
deb-src http://debian.goto10.org/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free

# Debian Multimedia
deb http://debian-multimedia.fx-services.com/ squeeze main
deb-src http://debian-multimedia.fx-services.com/ squeeze main

deb http://debian-multimedia.fx-services.com/ unstable main
deb-src http://debian-multimedia.fx-services.com/ unstable main

# Debian Unstable
deb http://mirror.ox.ac.uk/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free
deb-src http://mirror.ox.ac.uk/debian/ unstable main  contrib non-free



can  you give full details on the errors that you get from aptitude

i had a similar problem because one if the packages is broken libgig6
this is a dependency of qsampler which is part of the puredyne metapackage
so as this is broken it tries to remove the whole of puredyne - you need to 
force the upgrade of libgig6 to the unstable version as far as i remember

aptitutde usually gives you options of 
solutions are you happy with this solution y/n/q  etc.

first lets see your aptitude errors then we can take it from there...
