I had a similar situation.  One was was dist-upgraded with the rest of

The dist-upgrade did work but most config files were reset to defaults so

Let me ditto this also.  I recommend backing up and doing a clean rebuild.
Following the rebuild each app can be quickly reconfigured and user data 
can be restored.  It isn't that much more work in most cases and is IMHO a 
much more controlled situation.
