Thanks for your bugreport.

Please remove the cdrom from the sources.list file (e.g. via software-properties-gtk from System/Administration/Software sources) and untick the CDROM.

When that is gone, please try again.

Just received a notification regarding the dupe bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/367936) which gave the following response from the OP -

"No thats wrong. No CD rom is used during the installation. I used a download
install, not a CD install."

In response, I offer -

It doesn't matter what method you used to install, you will find the CD-rom has been enabled as a repository. Delete (or untick - depending on what method you use to access the sources.list) the entry for cd-rom and all will be well. You will need to update your sources after removing/unticking the cd-rom.

Ok, thankyou. How do I access the sources.list in my current version?

There are several ways, I generally use the command line, but if you prefer the GUI method, it is pretty straightforward.

Click System at the top of the screen, then, from the drop down menu, select Administration. There you will see Synaptic Package Manager. Click that and enter your password into the box which will appear. Once you have given the password, you will be presented with the Synaptic Package Manager. Under Settings, there is a Repositories button - click that and then untick the entry for your CD-rom.

To update your system after this, click the Reload button on the main Synaptic Package Manager screen.

Any problems - please shout.

This bug was fixed in the package update-manager - 1:0.120

---------------
update-manager (1:0.120) karmic; urgency=low

  * The 'Ready for karmic' version
  * DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeController.py:
    - do not fail in partial upgrades if apport must be
      enabled (LP: #357755)
    - when rewriting sources.list, check for cdrom entries
      that do not have associated list files and disable
      them (LP: #366459)
    - when rewriting sources.list, deal better with apt-cacher
      apt-torrent style uris (LP: #365537)
  * DistUpgrade/xorg_fix_proprietary.py:
    - instead of replacing fglrx->ati and nvidia->nv just
      comment out the driver and let xorg figure it out
      with its own magic (LP: #351394)
    - update tests/ for the change
  * UpdateManager/UpdateManager.py:
    - use a gtk link button to point the user to further
      upgrade information
  * DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeController.py:
    - ensure ./imported/invoke-rc.d is executable (LP: #147742)
  * refactor the quirks handlers and not run them in partial
    upgrade mode
  * tests/test_sources_list.py:
    - update tests for apt-torrent style uris (LP: #365537)
  * DistUpgrade/DistUpgrade.cfg:
    - remove edubuntu-desktop from the flavour metapackages, its
      not its own flavour anymore
  * help/C/update-manager-C.omf:
    - point to file:/usr/share/gnome/help/update-manager/C/update-manager.xml
      (LP: #368140)
