The silliness (or ignorance) is with me, not your question. I had not added sudo as a prefix. I've now tried and it works fine as you suggested and update manager is installing new updates. As you'll understand I'm fairly new to Linux.
Thanks, Ernst P.S. The problem with update manager was probably caused by that the upgrade to Intrepid was not completed properly. To one of the last questions during install whether or not I wanted to keep the original boot menu or not I selected "exit to new shell" upon which the installation hung itself.
