Ok...so for some reason by Ubuntu 10.04 partition won't startup anymore. I'm not exactly sure what I did. I have the feeling that I accidentally removed some important packages. However, when I startup in Recovery Mode and select "dpkg: repair broken packages" I get this output:
rm: cannot remove `/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/*': No such file or directory
rm: cannot remove `/var/cache/apt/archives/partial/*': No such file or directory

Your system is up-to-date
There are no upgrades available for your system. The upgrade will now be canceled.
Do you want to start the upgrade?

I'm assuming I'm missing each of those packages. However, when I try to install them, for example:
sudo apt-get install libisc44
I get some response that this package is missing and/or it may be part of another package.
I'm not exactly sure what I should do. I don't want to reinstall ubuntu, since I have it dual booted with Windows Vista and I don't want to risk anything on the Windows partition.
What are your thoughts?
Edit: I've posted this on Ubuntu Forums and nobody ever responded so...yah
Answer
You seem to have deleted some system directories. Depending on the amount of the damage, you'll probably need to reinstall.
Just in case it was just that one directory, do:
sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/
