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Update Manager reports package information is (now 14) days out-of-date.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.
