I suggest you remove everything except:
nameserver 212.13.194.71
nameserver 212.13.194.96
and then try again, since I suspect your own VPS (127.0.0.1) is not
running a working nameserver.
BTW your replies are going direct to me but it would be best to keep
this on the list. Can you do a list reply or at least a reply-all?
Cheers,
Andy

The file is /etc/resolv.conf (no e). Are you sure it does not
exist?
If it does not, it needs to contain something like:
nameserver 212.13.194.71
nameserver 212.13.194.96

..and now they are. So please don't post anything that you consider
private.

Also if you don't mind your posts from the old archive being
imported to the public one, please do let me know.

No. do-release-upgrade _is_ the upgrade tool that you should use
instead of apt-get/aptitude dist-upgrade.
However rather than take the advice of others, I'd recommend you
consult the official documentation first.
