Title:
  None of the options work

Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-manager

  On the amd64 Lucid install I'm using right now, the update manager
  often (always?) appears unusable.  The Install and Check option just
  prompt for a password, flash the display briefly, grey out the
  buttons, throw up a dialog saying "reading package information," and
  return to the status quo ante of the main window.  The updates that
  were previously available are still shown as available; there was no
  mention of anything being downloaded or installed.

  The Settings button does the same, except it doesn't prompt for a
  password.  It greys out the buttons, says it's reading package
  information, and puts you back in the main update manager window.

  Running it from a terminal produces no output.  Running apt-get update/upgrade will install the available updates without complaining.
