Your anger and blame are misdirected. Unless you've hit some BIG bug,
there's no way that 10.04 would prompt you to upgrade to 11.04 because
(1) there's no direct upgrade path through update-manager (GUI or CLI)
to skip a release and (2) an LTS release won't prompt you to upgrade
to a non-LTS release by default (you'd have to change the
update-manager settings). I suspect that you've forgotten that you'd
upgraded to 10.10 at some point!

You haven't provided enough info for anyone to be of real help...
