I had same issue. Try to reinstall with synaptic package manager these two packages :
- update-manager
- update-manager-core

Search for update manager, right click both packages, select Mark for Reinstallation and click Apply

After a reboot update-manager stop to work again ...

So I ran these commands from terminal :

sudo dpkg-reconfigure update-manager-core
sudo dpkg-reconfigure update-manager

Now update-manager works again ...
