first thing I did was try installing from shell, I'm in the habit of 
updating via shell anyway.
I think I've found a way.
This page

shows:
Paste this into /etc/apt/sources.list
Fron th elist I selected,

SouthEast Asia (Singapore)
deb 
http://ap-southeast-1.ec2.archive.ubuntu.com.s3.amazonaws.com/ubuntu/ 
precise main restricted universe multiverse

I did this and in a terminal ran:
  sudo su
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade again
Went to Update Manager after it ran and pushed the Update to 12.04 - it 
is now putting 1074 files into the Dell laptop which I anticipate may be 
the 12.04 upgrade files.
Here's hoping!
But it still does not explain the failure of the automatic update
