Hi Talal.  You don't need to worry about all the updated packages,  
just the ones that are loaded by your document.  So you can put  
\listfiles in your document, run it with TL2009 and then with TL2010  
and see the difference.  Packages that haven't changed presumably  
can't be the culprit.  That might help narrow it down to a few  
packages, in which case you could then try to create a minimal  
document that causes the problem.  Without doing that, it's quite hard  
to track these sorts of things.
