It means that the new release has not yet been released.

Ubuntu 10.10 will be released this coming Sunday (10/10/10).

(You did mention in one of your posts that you are not a newbie to Linux
or even Ubuntu? Or did I misinterpret what I think I read (hallucinating
runs in the family...)?

Right, so you're already running 10.10, the development release, so
"do-release-upgrade -d" won't have any effect until about 12th October
when it will happily upgrade you to the _next_ development release
11.04 (Natty Narwhal) - and you seriously don't want to do that.

I guess the reason you're running that command is because you're
following that guide at webupd8 that I suggested you avoid. Hey ho.

Ok. Well you're already on 10.10, so no need to run the command. Just
keep up to date with update manager or "apt-get update" followed by
"apt-get dist-upgrade"

Ok one final question when the new one is release on 10th Oct then on
that date should I run these commands to
fix what ever might be possible things here since I am already on 10.10

You don't need to do anything on 10/10/10, just keep your system up to
date with update manager or apt and you'll be running the final
release.

Ok.
I just want to note, and I don't know if this is a bug since i haven't
had time to check. I've needed to manually apt-get update and apt-get
upgrade daily to pull down new packages. It seems update manager
doesn't want to work for me.

I'm out of excuses. I really need to find somebody who can generate
excuses for me, I wonder if there is an app for that (oh I did).
