Bug description:
Binary package hint: update-manager

after upgrading update-manager on Nov/04/2010 the program fails to start from the menu. 

Running "update-manager" in a terminal generates the following failure message:

~$ update-manager
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/update-manager", line 32, in <module>
    from UpdateManager.UpdateManager import UpdateManager
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/UpdateManager/UpdateManager.py", line 32, in <module>
    import gconf
ImportError: No module named gconf

There are already a couple of confirming reports in the Natty forum.......
