For this error - which is a flatpak issue - a dialog box asking for flatpak to be manually updated should be displayed
Or user prompted to disable flatpak update inorder to allow mintupdate to proceed
IE: some feedback as to why it can not install
even running it from a terminal did not reveal the issue?? - perhaps at least generate a message for issues with flatpak?
Usually:
dialog box for root password should be displayed then updates installed
SOLUTION - this appears due to a flatpak issue - where a package was renamed. In terminal run "flatpak update"
answer Y to question
