I did what you suggested: the sudo apt-get purge daptup but the above appeared at the end. Now, im still figuring it out so that finally i can update and upgrade in my update manager. But thanks anyway. God bless!

Status in “daptup” package in Ubuntu: New

Bug description:
Binary package hint: update-manager

Update Manager reports package information is (now 14) days out-of-date.  However, aptitude was run this morning and everything is up-to-date.
Following the bubble instructions, if I bring up Update Manager and attempt to "search", I get the failure reported in the Summary.

Using Ubuntu 9.04, everything up to date as of today.
