An alternative fix, is to update your repositories to feisty and upgrade ``apt'' (sudo apt-get install apt).
Then add the line ``APT::Acquire::Translation none;'' to /etc/apt/apt.conf This resolves the issue of apt trying to get non-existing translation files and Update-Manager now continues. -- Update-Manager fails on Translation files https://launchpad.net/bugs/98632 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
