The fix:
/usr/lib/Bastille/API.pm and /usr/lib/Bastille/IOLoader.pm$stable=“4.0” to $stable=“5.0” InteractiveBastille (your existing config file will be used to populate answers, no worries!)

Ref:
1. Edit sources.list
sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list
and change all words etch to lenny, or stable to testing (vim: :s/etch/lenny/g)
2. Update and upgrade
sudo aptitude update sudo aptitude install apt dpkg aptitude sudo aptitude full-upgrade
that is all, this also work if you want to go from lenny to sid, just change your sources.list accordingly.
