Close Update Manager and open Terminal.
Execute this in Terminal

sudo apt-get clean all
sudo apt-get update

Try to upgrade packages again in Update Manager or Synaptic Package Manager.

Which version of Ubuntu are you using?
Post the output of this

cat /etc/lsb-release

Post the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list file here.

[luismcrd]

ubuntu 9.10.
the "/etc/apt/sources.list" gives an error:

luis@desktop:~$ /etc/apt/sources.list
bash: /etc/apt/sources.list: Permission denied
luis@desktop:~$ cat /etc/lsb-release
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=9.10
DISTRIB_CODENAME=karmic
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 9.10"
luis@desktop:~$

although I was thinking and if you ask for source list, here it is with "sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list ":

Sources.list file is configured correctly. Something is wrong at sources end only. I will suggest you to wait for a few hours/days and try update again.

[linuxsupport]

I think corrupted partial download in your /var/cache/apt directory.
Go into Synaptic-Settings-Preferences-Files and select the "Delete downloaded package after installation." option and then try again.

sudo apt-get clean all command does the same. Problem could be in sources only.

devils casper, but this problem don't came from today, for almost a 1 this is appennig
linuxsupport, I'd try to made the changes in Synaptic and the program freezes.
