'Install updates' does nothing #801

Open LinuxOnTheDesktop opened 1 year ago

LinuxOnTheDesktop commented 1 year ago

Describe the bug Some updates were shown. I selected 'install updates'. Nothing happened. I pressed the button a few more times. Nothingness continued to happen.

Screenshots Does your inbuilt video recorder work again yet? If so, I will make a video of the problem (if the problem persists or reoccurs).

To Reproduce Unknown exactly - the problem has not happened before. But, grossly: the update manager had a red box; I clicked the manager panel icon; the manager opened; I clicked 'install updates' . .

Expected behavior I expected updates to be installed.

Distribution:

Software version: 5.9.7.

Additional information:

Ending MintUpdate (via its tray menu) and restarting it resulted in MintUpdate telling me that all was up to date.

For its part though, apt showed the now slightly notorious 'shim-signed' package held back - and, in fact (though by 'apt' I mean sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade) various other updates. Wasn't there a move a while back to syncronise apt with mintUpdate?
