Could you please make sure that there is no runing apt-get, aptitude
or synaptic when you open the update-manager (check with e.g. System
Monitor and make sure that you display all proceses)? 

There can only be one application that deals with package
installs/removals. If that dosn't help, please send me (in a private
mail, this isn't really a topic for the ubuntu-devel list) the output
of (in a terminal): 
$ sudo lsof /var/lib/dpkg/lock

Cheers,
 Michael
