The proper procedure for such an upgrade is as follows:

1) download and burn the relevant amd64 iso
2) update your backups
3) reformat and reinstall the OS from the CD
4) restore your data and system config from the backups
5) resume normal operation

If the thought of reformatting your system is scary, because you don't
have backups or aren't sure they are comprehensive or work, then solve
that problem, rather than trying to invent workarounds to cover for
bad system administration. It will serve you much better in the long
run.
