Verified that update-manager no longer hangs. I installed Ubuntu 10.10 in VirtualBox, and ran updates. I then reproduced the original issue following the TestCase given. I then installed -proposed, installed the fixed update-manager, and ran test case again. The error no longer prints in terminal, and update manager completes the check for new updates.
