Please help me solve this problem. I have attached below a screenshot of this error which pops up whenever I try to open update manager. It also does not allow me to use the software center.

update-manager is not the tool i like (because of such issue), and prefer synaptic or the command line.

first close your opened apps, and into a terminal, run:

sudo apt-get install synaptic
sudo synaptic

then search "thunderbird" via the synaptic "quick search" field on top, select the package for installation, and voila :P
