you actually need to do in a terminal
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

if any errors appear try apt-get check , it will usually tells you what's wrong and how to fix it
also try dpkg --configure -a

K, I'm in the same boat. The above worked with the following exception:
The following packages have been kept back:
f-spot
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.

Thoughts?

You can also go into synaptic and hit reload, once in awhile my update manager doesn't work just the spinning wheel, so I use the force quit available in add ons to panels to close it and go to terminal or synaptic to check. I suspect that this update manager not working once in awhile is a bug.
