This bug was fixed in the package update-manager - 1:18.10.9

---------------
update-manager (1:18.10.9) cosmic; urgency=medium

  * Allow unselecting updates and performing only removals (LP: #1792320)
  * Stop trying apt_pkg.pkgsystem_(un)lock(), as a normal user it always fails
    (LP: #1795387)
  * Keep or delete packages after looping over all of them.
    This prevents the resolver from changing the packages in the loop resulting
    in not keeping some phased packages back from being upgraded. (LP: #1072136)
  * Fix PEP 8 warnings (LP: #1795384)
    Also ignore "W503 line break before binary operator" because it will
    become the best practice
