I used "sudo visudo" to edit "/etc/sudoers", and added the line:
        zamb localhost= NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/update-manager
and it worked for me.

You have an error in your syntax.  As the other post suggested, read the
"sudoers" manual page for the correct syntax.

Post again for any requests/queries.
