Based off the error message it seems that check-new-release-gtk is
trying to write a key (check_new_release_ignore) to your gconf database
and is failing because there is an issue with gconf on your system.
Your bug description actually has some detailed information about this:
No database
It's not clear that there is anything wrong with gconf itself (no
lockfiles are present, and e.g. gconftool -R / prints out numerous
settings and exits with status 0), though I'm now working on a Natty
system with the same home directory.
Aside from tweaking the program to handle this error case
The problem is not with the update-manager application itself, but with
the check-new-release-gtk dialog. See bug #785296.

Ok, what happens if you run it as root like this:
gksu update-manager
Does the problem persist?
