My lubuntu software updater seems to have troubles installing certain update packages.

After booting, it shows me the list of required updates, but when I try to install them, it terminates directly after showing the "Installing updates..." progress bar. Without any error message. Sometimes I can install the updates by randomly unchecking some packages from the list. So maybe there is a problem with some sources? Unfortunately I dont know much about Ubuntu. Also, with sudo apt-get update I can install some of the updates, but not all.

Is there a way to find out why this is happening? Or does anyone already know a solution?

Thanks!

EDIT: sudo apt-get update results in:

  • @user535733 done :) there also seems to be a problem with the repositories... – Kuhkäfer Jun 18 '18 at 16:47
  • Problem #1: Dead source (Err:8 http://ppa.launchpad.net/upubuntu-com/ppa/ubuntu bionic Release 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.95.83 80]). Remove the source – user535733 Jun 18 '18 at 17:45
  • Problem #2: Held package (The following packages have been kept back: configure-trackpoint:i386). Tell us everything you know about that package, and why you installed it. – user535733 Jun 18 '18 at 17:48
  • #1: Hmm I just tried to (with the Software & Updates GUI), but it doesnt react. Is there another way to remove the source? – Kuhkäfer Jun 18 '18 at 21:38
  • #2 I have a lenovo thinkpad with a trackpoint and tried to configure its speed. I a tutorial (long ago, I dont remember which one) I was asked to install it.... – Kuhkäfer Jun 18 '18 at 21:39
  • I linked to EIGHT answers to remove a source, so check that link again and keep trying. If you don't use that trackpoint package anymore, then uninstall it. – user535733 Jun 18 '18 at 22:05
  • @user535733 Oh, sorry, I didnt read that! I had to go to the sources.list.d folder but now I removed the dead source. – Kuhkäfer Jun 22 '18 at 11:12
  • Thank you for the links! update and upgrade both dont give any errors now. I installed the kept back configure-trackpoint package and the software updater sais everything is up to date! I will check if it will install new updates smoothly. If not I will ask for your help again :) Thank you so much, solving it wasnt actually difficult, I just didnt know where to start. – Kuhkäfer Jun 22 '18 at 11:29
  • Very happy to read that you solved it! – user535733 Jun 22 '18 at 12:24
