the broken icon means that either there is no internet connection or some other update application (synaptic, apt-get, aptitude, adept) is doing an update.
Mint update knows there are some updates to get from checks during the build process of the distro (by me).
but there are even more updates since then that it does not konw about.

make sure you are connected to the internet before trying to start mintupdate.
