broken upgrade from 14.04 to 14.10

I'm trying to upgrade to 15.04 and have hit a snag in the intermediate step going from 14.04->14.10.
After what I thought was a successful update, things are not entirely right:

1. I'm running 3.16.0-34-generic (which is 14.04)


2. lsb_release -a give 14.04



3. "About this computer" gives 14.10


4. Launch screen also states 14.10

When I go through Software Updater, I get an error after beginning update to 14.10 again that says, "The software on this computer is up to date. (There are no upgrades available for your system. The upgrade will now be canceled.)"

Any advice will be very appreciated!
