I have a bunch of old machines in production all running uBuntu 9.10. I want to now upgrade this to 10.04 distributions but I am getting the following error (because the repositories have expired I guess)
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
update-manager-core: Depends: python-apt (>= 0.7.5) but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages
All my apt-get update / apt-get upgrade commands are failing with error

E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
Can anyone help me with next steps and how I can fix this. If there is any PPA or any other repository maintaining update-manager-core with all dependencies, then I am happy to use that.
Thanks
