Reproducible on a fresh lucid 32bit install here too:

- launch u-m from a terminal.
- wait a few hours (Hmm, I wonder if an apt-get update in another terminal would have also worked?)
- click Install Updates. Nothing happens, but there is a message on the terminal:

SystemError: E:I wasn't able to locate file for the linux-image-2.6.32-23-generic package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package.

I would have attached /var/log/dpkg/status, but /var/log/dpkg/ does not exist. :P
