Update manager broken

[raido357]

SOLVED:

I had one PPA key missing and that broke update-manager. Although it could be nicer if update manager would work even without GPG key or could atleast display some sort of user friendly error message.


When i try to run Update manager i get this error:

update-manager
Traceback (most recent call last):

Can you "sudo apt-get install update" in the terminal? that's all I got to offer. If that works the problem is w/ the GUI, otherwise....umm...?...

You just meant sudo apt-get update, didn't you?
or maybe sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade...

Executing apt-get update in console is working all the time, problem is with Update manager when some GPG keys are missing (as written in first post).
