Update manager reporting errors

Whenever Update-Manager is run manually or automatically I get the following message:

(

Thank you for the kind words. Hopefully someone with more knowledge than myself will be able to help you.

Thanks for your bugreport.

This error indicates that something went wrong with the network update, Are you behind a proxy server?
Does the problem persists or does it go away when you run "sudo apt-get update" in a terminal window?

Thanks for you quick response.  Yes I am using the network from behind a government proxy server in Saudi Arabia. I ran "sudo apt-get update" as you suggested, but the problem did not go away and I got the following message from that command:

W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems

I ran update-manager too and got the same message stated in the bug-report after pressing the 'Check' button.

Many thanks.

In Ubuntu 8.04 I have had a similar warning several times in the last couple of days.
I get notification that updates are available and click "check" then the following message appears.
Update manager still runs successfully.
