All things considered, not surprising. Will use workaround by running apt-get update from a terminal

One note is that the authorization pop-up should position the cursor to received the password. Bad Programmer! Bad! Bad!

On checking with the apt-get upgrade tool, I found that, even though there was a failure in update-manager, the updates had been done. It appears to ahve been some kind of communication failure between processes.
