One further comment:
If I start update-manager with su privileges (sudo update-manager) from the command line, the whole process works as expected.
So it is obviously a result of update manager unsuccessfully attempting to acquire those access rights. In past releases, it would ask me for my password (I'm member of group admin) and be on its merry way. Now, as I understand, it will not ask for this but as a result it fails to perform said updates for lack of authority.
