I have been getting some "failure to fetch" errors when I try to do updates in ubuntu 10.04. I checked the forum threads, and this error seems to be a problem in the package sources list every time, but it seems different for everyone. I haven't been able to see anything in my sources list that I can immediately identify as "wrong".
I tried upgrading to 10.10, in the hopes that it would just get rid of unnecessary old packages, but that is failing too.
Here is my sources list:
Code:

Could not calculate the upgrade
An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade:
E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be
caused by held packages.
This can be caused by:
* Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu
* Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu
* Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu
If none of this applies, then please report this bug against the
'update-manager' package and include the files in
/var/log/dist-upgrade/ in the bug report.
Any ideas? Thanks.
