Update Manager doesn't install updates on Raring

[Christopher Forster]

Hi! Update Manager does update the repositories but does not install correctly at all. The program exits without warning. No apport report written. I got the following message with "strace update-manager", later part of terminal output:

What exactly do you mean by 'update manager ... does not install correctly'? Is the package itself not installing correctly or is it not installing updates?

[Christopher Forster (christopherforster)]

It's the package update-manager itself. I'm unable to update through it. I can do it through the Terminal: "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" works.
