... After the crash happened, and after a while, I started Update
manager once again, but it said the following:

E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to 
correct the problem. 
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.

... Then I opened terminal and put the command required above. The
result was:

mi...@desktop:~$ sudo dpkg --configure -a

By the way, the installation of updated linux image: 
/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-20-generic some ten days ago went smoothly.
