update manager fails

this seems to be a problem with the server not your system, please be patient whist it is fixed.

Yes might be a transient... so please try later... or change the System → Administration → Software Sources
tab [Ubuntu software] item Download from: [select main server] confirm and reload repository packages index...

Then to be sure your system is fully updated/upgraded without missing and or pending packages:

Open a Terminal from the menu Applications → Accessories → Terminal and type:
(when the system ask you a password give your user password, you will not see nothing when you type it, then press enter)

sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get -f install
sudo apt-get --fix-missing install
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoremove

Hope this helps

You may have to clean your database first, can you try all the commands suggested by marcobra above?

I also tried all the recommended commands and still got the size mismatch error. Is this supposed to be fixed now?
