I recently installed Ubuntu 8.10 (installed within Windows XP) on an Asus Eee PC 1000 (10/30mb SSD, 1mb RAM). Opening Update Manager showed 301 updates available (278mb) and when proceeding gave exactly the above error messages.
Having consulted Keir Thomas' Pocket Guide & Reference (I am a complete Linux virgin, but happy with the old CPM & DOS command line), I manually ran:
sudo dkpg --configure -a
(working out the need for the sudo command took me a while !)
It worked and all the updates appear to have downloaded & installed successfully.
