The current version of update-manager should be able to deal with a lot of broken package, could you please run:
$ sudo apt-get install -f
so that I can see what particular issue your system has (but please do not apply the changes, press "n").
update-manager should kick into a recovery mode. Maybe attach a gziped version of your /var/lib/dpkg/status file as well.
Thanks for your bugreport.
