I was affected by this bug.
Partial upgrading my jaunty system crashed update-manager.

After installing the latest update-manager in -proposed (1:0.111.9) I completed the partial upgrade without issues.

Confirmed here as well that the version of update-manager in -proposed, 1:0.111.9, fixes the crash when update-manager --dist-upgrade is invoked. updates continue to work with the version in -proposed as well.
