I am aware of Error Upgrading ubuntu-advantage-tools and the corresponding bug. I checked and made sure that the latest patch provided by Richard Harding is present on my machine. I also installed cloud-id (which was not installed earlier) and still the same problem. which is:

10 packages can be upgraded. Run 'apt list --upgradable' to see them.

I guess I can remove libfprint-2-2 but ubuntu-advantage-tools seems more fundamental. Please advise.

  • Welcome to Ask Ubuntu! Please [edit] your question to include the output of sudo apt -f install and cat /etc/apt/sources.list. – Error404 Jan 19 '22 at 04:25
  • I can't speak with authority here, but I've noted discussions on problems with Ubuntu Advantage tools (changes are occurring; some issues are only in how new information is being presented; changing that has caused other issues) but with 20.04 LTS you won't get benefit of it until after April-2025 so it's not critical/fundamental yet. However a quick look at and I see libfprint | 1:1.90.2+tod1-0ubuntu1~20.04.6 | focal-updates | source so I'd check sources are up-to-date as your paste shows an older package.. – guiverc Jan 19 '22 at 10:33
  • @Someone provided the info you asked for. – LuciferMorningstar Jan 20 '22 at 23:14
  • @guiverc how to i check for up to date sources? – LuciferMorningstar Jan 20 '22 at 23:15
  • I used a terminal command to look for packages (rmadison) as I'm using a different release; but you can search online too using https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=all&searchon=names&keywords=libfprint which will show the same details (just formatted slightly differently; and without ESM release details I get at terminal). To update your sources a simple sudo apt update will cause your system to update it's package information.. You trying days later & that command would have been executed by the system automatically a couple of times... – guiverc Mar 10 '22 at 01:24

Tried the same steps a reboot and two days later and it all just worked. I believe the reboot cleared some cache.

sudo apt upgrade
