Did it today from 10.10, also had to change to old-releases. After changing
"/etc/apt/sources.list" run the commands:
 sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
 sudo apt-get clean
 sudo apt-get update

Confirm you have instaled update-manager-core:
 sudo apt-get install update-manager-core

Confirm you are up-to date on your release:
 sudo apt-get upgrade

and upgrade release:
 sudo do-release-upgrade
(see option -d)

Worked for me when I did the rm command. Make a copy of your original
"/etc/apt/sources.list, just in case.

Regards
Luis
