Ooops.

There may be /some/ options. If you are able to single user (by-passing
a lot of normal boot procedure) & are able to manually bring up network
interfaces, you may be able to edit the version pulled by apt in
/etc/apt/sources.list (or .d variety) and "downgrade."

It may also be simply the way you upgraded it. Normally you should
'apt-get dist-upgrade' which will resolve a lot of issues. It may just
be you did upgrade and are still missing a lot of the vital components
to use the newer version.
