I'm getting this now too (on Alpha 5) after the latest round of updates earlier today which I believe updated the update manager.
It crashes after I hit "Install Updates" every time.

First time I have seen this problem, guess I am not alone in the circumstance, anyone try using Synaptic to see if it does the same?

When running Synaptic via System>Administration>Synaptic Package Manager and marking all upgrades was able to get the same items that were having problems in Update Manager to finish the process to the end. So that seems to point that perhaps it is something to do with the Recently upgraded update manager. At the very least the system is still strong enough and does not crash but would be nice to be able to use either/or.

This is a bug in update-manager, please install the new version (0.100.1) with synaptic or apt-get, then everything should be back to normal.
