This is just a guess, but it looks like you probably installed the 
Breezy OOo2 packages from doko's repo.  I personally would recommend 
removing those packages, and remove the repository from your 
/etc/apt/sources.list file.  My guess by the error message above is that 
the repo is gone.  Just removing the line from the sources.list file 
might do the trick.  I feel that there are more chances for conflicts 
during the upgrade if you leave the packages installed, though.

You may want to install ubuntu-desktop if you removed it previously (or 
kubuntu-desktop if you use KDE).  I believe that parts of the upgrade 
will go easier if that package is installed.
