Re: update manager
"Mark all upgrades" in Synaptic is the same as dist-upgrade in aptitude or apt-get; it updates the packages you have installed and attempts to resolve dependencies automagically.
As far as I know, the Ubuntu Update Manager is just another front-end for dpkg, and does the same thing as dist-upgrade. It just takes away some of the options available to the user in Synaptic, like choosing which packages not to update or forcing/locking versions.
while ( ! ( succeed = try() ) );

Re: update manager
When you install a new linux OS, it's usually a little outdated, no matter what distro. This is because updates to packages roll out after the ISO is built. This is a good thing. You get newer versions of programs, with bugfixes and new features.
apt-get or synaptic will occasionally remove some packages during upgrade or dist-upgrade. This is usually because packages change names, or become merged into another package. An upgrade will never remove an entire program, it'll just remove obsolete packages. This is a good thing =o)
99% not authenticated is a little strange though. Seems like you are missing a GPG key.

Re: update manager
Are you using any PPAs or other third-party repositories? Like GuruX said, your missing some key.

Re: update manager
Only thing I see is Debian Squeeze Repository is listed twice -- once for Germany and once for US. Other than that I'd concur with the missing authentication theory. Remember these applications don't need to be authenticated to be in the repo -- most may not be however it's reassuring when they are -- but the fact they are in Debian or CrunchBang is good enough for me.
NOTE - personally I use the German repository because it's faster! 
Re: update manager
