OK - fixed by commenting out lines in /etc/apt/preferences.d/lib.pref
$ sudo apt-cache policy update-manager

I ran update-manager(old) to check defaukt state and this installed some new
updated including new update-manager
running that I get:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/update-manager", line 39, in <module>
from UpdateManager.UpdateManager import UpdateManager
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/UpdateManager/UpdateManager.py", line
67, in <module>
from .UpdatesAvailable import UpdatesAvailable
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/UpdateManager/UpdatesAvailable.py", line
61, in <module>
from .Core.UpdateList import UpdateSystemGroup
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/UpdateManager/Core/UpdateList.py", line
599
if pkg.is_installed and pkg.is_upgradable and pkg.marked_keep
^
SyntaxError: expected ':'
So I fixed that by joining 600 to 599 and ran it again.
This time it satarted, did a small update and finished with correct 'The
software on this computer is up to date'
