Please don't. As long as you don't *exactly* know what you are doing, ONLY use your OS internal packaging system and don't follow tips you find on google. This particular blog post for example makes you install a ancient version of openssl (just look at the date of the post), with numerous issues and bugs. Also you would very likely mess up your whole system. Ubuntu 10.04 is EOL, you don't use an EOL'ed OS in production, period. Upgrade to the next Ubuntu LTS edition by following the howto of your OS vendor: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PreciseUpgrades Lukas
