Yes, there are no updates for Lucid. It is EOL in every way. I recommend a clean install of Trusty which is LTS and supported til April 2019.

This is also explained at the start of the troubleshooting procedure.

I quote:

"
The only supported releases of Ubuntu are the ones that are NOT End of Life (EOL) in the following table:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases
"

Ehsan
I found an unusal (to me) combinations of releases in your post. See above. I do not know what caused it. I have asked question #249658 to find out what causes this. Actionparsnip needs to know if you had been trying to upgrade, by upgrading through the releases (10.04, 10.10, 11.04, 11.10, 12.04 and on up). Could you tell what you were doing (trying to achieve) when this problem started?
Thanks Michael

There is an absurd combination of the repositories for different Ubuntu releases in the /etc/apt/sources.list configuration file and I am not surprised to see problems during a package upgrade attempt (broken dependencies etc.).

When looking at the comments above each of these lines in the sources.list file, it seems to me that these entries have been added manually, and not by some fault in a release upgrade attempt with the standard tools.

Maybe removing (or commenting out) all references to releases different from Lucid from the sources.list files enables to perform package updates and release upgrades again. In my opinion a clean restart with a supported release will be better.
I recommend that you create backup copies of all your important files, and do a clean installation of Ubuntu 12.04 or 14.04.

Can you help with this problem?
