software-updater incorrectly displays "You stopped the check for updates"

[mdmcginn]

Expected behavior: display a list of updates
What happens: dialog box that says "You stopped the check for updates" (which I don't think I did)
Expected behavior when I choose "Check again": display a list of updates
What happens: "You stopped the check for updates"

Followed by update-manager dialog box "Task cannot be monitored or controlled" "The connection to the daemon was lost. Most likely the background daemon crashed."

apt-get update/upgrade works - software-updater has same behavior after I run it.

Works now, probably because I restarted my computer.
