Paul, you saved my day. Thanks!

I was stuck with  the error message and the problem reported in this
bug. Had I rebooted the system, I would have been stuck with a half-
updated non-bootable system. I followed your advice and got my system
updated and running.

Changes to your suggestions:
- I dropped step #1 and #2 as I already had updated my system this way before 
running do-release-upgraded.
- The URL in step #3 has changed to
  
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/dist-upgrader-all/current/lucid.tar.gz
- I dropped step #5 as I did not have to comment out line 352. it worked anyway.
- In step #6, I  ran "sudo ./lucid --frontend=DistUpgradeViewText" as I prefer 
a text interface instead of a graphical view.

Step #6 failed due to some pakets. I deinstalled them and ran #6 again.
I repeated this process until installation went through and offered a
reboot.
