Public bug reported: The problem began after booting from an older external drive with Ubuntu 10.04 installed... Upon removing the external drive and booting (from hard drive as I usually do) into Ubuntu 11.04, the update manager issue started. I also noticed that my firefox profile had been reset (may not be related). I used computer janitor to clean some packages and ran it about 3 times until all was clear. still, the problem persists.
