The direct upgrade 7.10 -> 8.10 isn't supported. Better use the double
upgrade route. See <https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes>.

It is recommended to upgrade to 8.04 first:

An upgrade is the process of going from an earlier version of Ubuntu
to a newer version of Ubuntu. An example of this would be going from
Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) to Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Hardy
Heron). Skipping versions is not advised as it may cause damage to
your system. If you are using an earlier version, and want to 'skip'
a version, the safest way is to backup your data and do a fresh
installation, or to progressively upgrade to each successive
version.
