Hi! I tried starting update-manager from a terminal. This is what it printed:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo strace -f -o update-manager-trace.txt update-manager warning: could not initiate dbus current dist not found in meta-release file could not send the dbus Inhibit signal: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken. As it went through the update without problems this time, I won't attach the strace (97MB uncompressed!). devpts is mounted ("(evpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)").
