I would encourage you to try and reproduce the issue and then use ubuntu-bug to file a bug against update-manager if indeed you find an issue. If you want to avoid installing, try booting from a livecd and see if you can trigger a similar problem. Also, are you checking "install updates" during the installation?

I have done recently two fresh installs of Ubuntu 12.10 - one one a laptop (ACER Aspire) and another one on a Desktop computer. In both cases I run into the following: the install itself was going smooth without any problems. (Minor cosmetic problem of not displaying the message when restarting after install to take out the CD and close the CD rack.) However after restarting after install problems arose. The update manager came up saying that he has 234 or so updates to install. Naturally I gave a go ahead and punched in the pw as asked for. When hitting Enter on the pw the update manager disappears. Nowhere to scene. However when I try to run any other package program it says that the library is locked. Seems like the update manager silently crashed without any notice. I have then restarted system (didn't want to fiddle around unlocking the directory and so on - might be a mistake though) and when comes up from restart, the package database is broken in need of repair. In the case of the laptop that was easy and run package manager to fix that. Right after however while installing language packs that first quit while in mid installing language packs and when restarted hung. After a later restart worked fine and managed to install the desired packs. In the case of the Desktop computer something more sinister happened: the USB mouse became unresponsive, and also the compiz crashed a couple of times. I could not make the mouse working (tried with other USB mice too and no joy either) so I have re-installed system again, overwriting the previous install. Went smooth and in this case didn't use the update manager to update packages but went for apt-get update and upgrade and all went smooth. The systems is up and running like a charm. I wonder if there is an issue with install/update manager since it was two cases on totally different architecture. Both x64 systems. Both installed from DVD, same DVD, that have worked on other laptop without problem. Seems the issue is not always there but 2 times out of 3 recent installs I have done. Anyone any idea? Can not reproduce the case right now since I am not about to install anything. I can try later on when I get another computer to install (expecting some within the week.)
