The http timeouts may be different than the backports error? Also, some of us have empty logs except for main.log. In any case, others are reporting "prerequisites" errors here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/153980

I'm closing this, since this bug appears to be caused by overloaded servers on release day.
