I haven't updated my server (10.10) for quite a while.
I updated package information with sudo apt-get update and then ran sudo apt-get upgrade as usual, which resulted in:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
What could possibly be wrong?
Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) end-of-life reached on April 10, 2012

Even if you are sure , system is not upto date as far as last updates is concerned , cross-check the packages Version here
Last update was made on 5th April as here
Ubuntu 10.10 has reached its EOL in April 10, 2012, there are no more updates for it. If you want to sue more recent software and up to date packages you need to upgrade.
This is likely because support for most Ubuntu releases lasts 18 months. (Except for LTS releases, e.g. 10.04 and 12.04, where support is for three/five years.)
Support for Ubuntu 10.10, which was released in October 2010, ended on the 10th April 2012. This means that the update servers for 10.10 are no longer online.
You could enable the updates for 10.04, that's your only option at the moment. You can achieve that by editing your sources.list as explained below:
Pack that sources.list up first (important!): gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
Then use replace to replace the word 'maverick' for the word 'lucid'
Save the file
Run sudo apt-get update again
You might get an error about some link extras.ubuntu.com, hash them out from the sources.list file and run again.
