I have the same issue, I can run update-manager as root but see the following:

I am running Kubuntu, not Unity, possibly part of the problem.

Micheal, are you still looking for the output from running aptd as you suggested?

     aptd --debug --replace --disable-timeout

If so let me know.

How is aptd started? I didn't find anything in /etc/init.d/ that looked applicable, nor did /etc/apt/conf.d/* suggest a way to add the requested argument, though I didn't look very hard.
