I AM able to update manually OR through Synaptic. So I have gotten updates TO update manager. That said, I suspect the bug is NOT an update manager bug but, as I may have said elsewhere, possibly some switch that is set when it should not be. But where? AND is it related to the computer janitor issue I have that 'thinks' I have Synaptic or update manager running.
Could not update manager's problem, then, be the same root cause???
