Question

gnome software terminal how can I fix the error:

unable to install updates prepared update not found /var/lib/packagekit/prepared-update

in ubuntu 22.04.01 LTS gnome software?

I've already tried to update through the terminal, but the pending packages are still not being installed.

My skills are limited, and I haven't been able to solve the problem for 3 days...

If anyone can help, thanks in advance...

You said that you have tried to update via terminal but, can you paste the output on pastebin? -->
sudo apt update && sudo apt install -f -y && sudo apt upgrade -y && sudo apt dist-upgrade -y && sudo apt autoremove --purge -y — nb52er, Oct 27 '22 at 13:23
Do not use -y option. Always review the changes before accepting them. — mchid, Oct 27 '22 at 13:24
Do run sudo apt update and sudo apt upgrade and edit your question to include any errors. Thanks. — mchid, Oct 27 '22 at 13:25
I tried the commands: sudo apt update and sudo apt upgrade, and it shows me that 7 packages will not be updated. Inside gnome software it shows me the error: unable to install updates prepared update not found /var/lib/packagekit/prepared-update. — Alexandre Silva, Oct 27 '22 at 13:32
please edit your question and add the full output of these commands. — pLumo, Oct 27 '22 at 13:35
Please excuse my ignorance, how do I get the full output of these commands? — Alexandre Silva, Oct 27 '22 at 13:44
The full output is displayed in the terminal. Copy it. Paste it into your question above. How to edit your question — user535733, Oct 27 '22 at 13:44
Sorry for the delay in responding, the system has requested a restart... I put the images in the question, hope it's correct... — Alexandre Silva, Oct 27 '22 at 14:09
Just updating, today all packages were updated without major problems. Thanks to the community for your attention and help! — Alexandre Silva, Oct 29 '22 at 09:52

It may take a while for this fix to reach the end-users, especially if their upgrades fail...

Can try upgrading via the terminal, as suggested by mchid -
run sudo apt update and sudo apt upgrade

Eventually, it should be able to install the fix to GNOME Automatic Updates.
