It appears that the backports is failing. Comment out backports & try

Network Upgrade from 6.06 for Ubuntu Servers (Recommended)

If you run an Ubuntu server, you should use the new server upgrade system.

    Enable the "dapper-updates" repository.
    Install the new "update-manager-core" package - dependencies include
python-apt, python-gnupginterface and python2.4-apt.
    Run "sudo do-release-upgrade" in a terminal window.
    Follow the steps on the terminal window.

After you've upgraded to 8.04 you can then renable the backports

Again, I strongly advise you do this on test system first & ensure you
have complete backups.
