I can't say that it works for me either. I did as you said and rebooted. 
I then tried terminal as root and synaptic, both of which asked a 
password, but didn't start.

Was the dist-upgrade supposed to install something relevant to this? 
Because all I got were packages regarding the archive keyring, color 
management and xulrunner (-dbg version of the latter for some reason).
