I opened Software Sources and went to the Updates tab. "Important 
security updated (deltah-security)" was already checked. I now checked 
"Recommended updates (deltah-updates)" and ran Update manager again. I 
could now install OpenOffice.org, Linux and a whole pile of other updates.

I guess that solved the issue. The problem I have now is that I can't 
open Software Sources anymore (also on my other machines that didn't get 
the partial upgrade notice). Seems like a gNewSense specific problem, 
because it starts just fine on the Ubuntu Hardy machine.
