ok, I get different output when I do an:
aptitude update
apt-get update
update-manager
I think maybe I am unable to do updates right now. Here is the output of each
of those commands:
# aptitude reinstall update-manager

E: I wasn't able to locate file for the update-manager package. This might
mean you need to manually fix this package.
