I did do a fresh install rather than an upgrade, if that makes any 
difference.

I was a long-time user of 9.10, switched briefly (couple of months) to 
Xubuntu 11.04 with US packages (which didn't work out too well), now 
11.10 US. Each time though it's using the same /home partition but the 
actual OS is always a clean install.

I have managed to update things on several occasions since I installed 
9.10 -- all it did was upgrade a package since this morning's upgrade, 
but thanks anyway for the suggestion. It's odd that different buttons 
are broken depending on whether the Update Manager pops up automatically 
or is launched from the menu.

Best wishes
