Yeah, that's what I figured.  I really don't have a problem with
update-manager, and to be fair when it broke when I was using it, I had
kicked off the update at work, forgotten about it, and hibernated when I
left - then when I resumed the machine at home something (I don't recall
what) was broken.  That's not a normal, or recommended, use case :-)
