Bug Description
Binary package hint: man-db
Just completed a fresh install of 10.04 and booted up.
Selected Update Manager and tried to install the latest security updates.
Crash reported detected and then followed the on screen instructions to send you the file.
Have since gone back into Update Manager to try and run remaining updates but failed again and also locked out Update Manager
Am going to try a reboot and then UM again but wanted to send this bug report first.

Looks like it was my hard drive that was causing the issue.
Booted up again and fsck reported a problem in /
Clicked M as instructed to go into Manual mode and then ran fsck and all subsequent fixes.
Rebooted.
Then went into Update Manager and was prompted to do a partial upgrade. This completed successfully and after another reboot, UM now reports my system as up to date.
