I got the message trying to update from Ubuntu 9.04 to Ubuntu 9.10.
The fix is to download the install CD from Ubuntu 9.10 Download. Install the ISO to a CD.
From the System -> Administration -> Software Sources select the go to the Third-Party Software tab and select the Add CD-ROM button.
With the CD now in the selection list the missing packages will be found.
These are the packages I was missing:

'What do you do with a drunken Linux'
My Ubuntu 9.04 system is locked up. I was running the Update Manager with another copy of Synaptic open. I am also running Synergy.
The focus in in the error dialog. However, I have no mouse and no response from the keyboard.
I have waited about 10 minutes. Looks like it is time to force a shutdown.
Steve's help:
Found X11 user with who command. Search ps for tty7 and than kill the user. That got be back to the X11 login.
Ctrl-Alt-1 through Ctrl-Alt-6 send me to the command line. Ctrl-Alt-7 send me to X11. Also Alt-7 will work.

Swap Size and Hibernation
I had never considered this before. Hibernation requires that the swap partition size be at least as large as the system's physical size. Found this little tidbit of information in the release notes for Ubuntu 9.10. This is more important on my portables.
Gentoo Versus Ubuntu 9.04
Gentoo Optimizations Benchmarked by Christopher Smart. Christopher also did the Gentoo: "We're Not Dead" article /interview.
Interesting article. Looks like the GCC optimizations help Gentoo win out almost all the time. In the game area the frame rate can be really improved by Gentoo. However, there were some places where Ubuntu beats Gentoo by a little bit. This was a surprise to me. I would have expect them to be only tied at worst. There must be something else going on. But Ubuntu winning was very seldom.
The set of bench marks used was Phoronix Test Suite by Phronix of course.
