Title:
  update-manager freezes when checking for updates

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-manager

  Using Lucid on MacBook Pro 1,1, update-manager 1:0.133.8

  I open update-manager and press "Check".  After entering the
  administrator password, the download window appears but freezes.  It
  does not download and I have to force quit the application.  I cannot
  restart update-manager or synaptic (I get an alert saying another
  synaptic is running).  This happens 90% of the time.  If it works
  once, it will continue working until I reboot.

  The only work-around I have found is to reboot and start synaptic.  It
  will freeze as well immediately after I enter the administrator
  password.  I then force quit synaptic and log out using CRTL-ALT-DEL.
  I then log in and try to start synaptic.  Nothing will happen.  I then
  try to start synaptic again and it will work perfectly as long as the
  computer remains on.  Even update-manager will work after that.

  I had the same issue with Karmic (no issues with Gutsy through
  Jaunty).
