If you access:
http://ppa.launchpad.net/gpredict-team/ppa/ubuntu/dists/

There is no Lucid repo there, only Intrepid, Jaunty and Karmic

You should remove the repo, it is of no value to you

I had that problem a few times. All it means is that some of the servers are down/inaccessible. Wait a day and retry updating.

If the repo doesn't get a lucid folder in a few days, I suggest you remove the repo.
