Without sudo I received the reported error, tried it later with sudo and
it worked:

~$ /usr/bin/update-manager
extracting '/tmp/tmpaW6m_m/gutsy.tar.gz'
Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/tarfile.py", line 1144, in open
    raise ReadError("file could not be opened successfully")
tarfile.ReadError: file could not be opened successfully


With sudo it ran fine:

~$ sudo /usr/bin/update-manager
