Thanks for your report.

It looks like the upgrade fails because the package libsox1a doesn't exists. Are you trying to upgrade from Lucid to Maverick or is it an upgrade of maverick itself ?
Thanks.

Maverick is trying to update itself.

Terminal said something about libsox1a.

Could you please attach the file /var/log/apt/term.log to this report ? Thanks
