What did you want to do? Upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 or something else?
There are reports that that upgrade fails in some cases if the package xserver-xorg-video-nouveau is installed. You might check if you have that package installed, and if it is installed remove it (will also remove xserver-xorg-video-all) and then try to restart the upgrade.

If that is not the case and/or does not help please send us the full terminal output from the following procedure:
