	Reboot computer and here is what I found:

karl at Jaunty:~$ cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1	localhost
127.0.1.1	Jaunty

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1     ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
karl at Jaunty:~$

And the Update Manager works fine now.
