Upgrading 10.04LTS -> 10.10 using custom sources
- by Boatzart
I'm trying to upgrade to 10.10 from 10.04 LTS using a custom sources.list file that points to an unofficial mirror*. The mirror does have maverick, but I get the following output when upgrading:

Updating repository information
WARNING: Failed to read mirror file
No valid mirror found
While scanning your repository information no mirror entry for the
upgrade was found. This can happen if you run a internal mirror or if
the mirror information is out of date.
Do you want to rewrite your 'sources.list' file anyway? If you choose
'Yes' here it will update all 'lucid' to 'maverick' entries.
If you select 'No' the upgrade will cancel.

Could not calculate the upgrade
An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade:
The package 'update-manager-kde' is marked for removal but it is in
the removal blacklist.
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.

*I'm located inside of USC, and for some crazy reason any sustained downloads to anywhere outside of the University are throttled down to 5kbps inside of my lab. Because of this I need to use the following sources.list:
deb http://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/linux/distributions/ubuntu/ lucid main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/linux/distributions/ubuntu/ lucid-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/linux/distributions/ubuntu/ lucid-backports main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/linux/distributions/ubuntu/ lucid-security main restricted universe multiverse
I've tried adding four more entries to the sources.list with s/lucid/maverick/ but that didn't help.
Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks!
