Thanks for you help. I did that by hand and then the apt-get upgrade worked fine. When I tried to upgrade to 10-10 in the package manager, though, it didn't work. I saw some postings concerning the same error message I got where someone said the remove the nouveau packages and then they were able to upgrade. In the package manager I selected those things starting with nouveau, marked for removal, then hit apply and....lost the entire OS. I obviously did something stupid. Back to a fresh install.
