I am on Ubuntu 22.04LTS. On startup I get a message: Pending updates of snap-store store. Close the app to avoid disruptions. So I close and refresh snap as explained in this post: Pending Update of Snap Store. On the command sudo snap refresh I get the response All snap are updated. But the message keeps showing, also when I restart the computer.

Then in Software there are OS-updates. When I click on the download-button I get the message. Download of updates failed: The following packages have unmet dependencies:. The message does not say what dependencies are unmet. It simply stops after the colon.

enter image description here

I don´t know if the two problems are related. I found several posts on the second problem, but none of them solved it for me. I would really like to be able to keep the operating system up to date. What can I do?

sudo apt-get update and upgrade give the following output:

  • Please post the info about what are the unmet dependencies. Cut and paste into the question. – David Oct 29 '22 at 07:53
  • The message does not say what dependencies are unmet. It simply stops after the colon. – johannes Oct 29 '22 at 07:57
  • Run the sudo apt-get update and the sudo apt-get upgrade in a terminal. Cut and past the info on the errors that will display there. – David Oct 29 '22 at 08:13
  • There do not seem to be any errors. – johannes Oct 29 '22 at 08:34
  • Both commands ran with no errors? If so you have an up to date system. – David Oct 29 '22 at 08:53
  • I take this kind of strange issues to possibly be coupled with non-english settings; therefore my personal machines ALWAYS have English as system language, possibly with 'local' monetary and numeric settings (currently patched to use 'decimal point' and space as number grouping). The example above is also a pure example on why avoid translations; the interpretation of the text in the question is pure guesswork for me. – Hannu Oct 29 '22 at 09:13
  • @Hannu, Your point of view concerning non-english settings is very interesting. Is it based on experience? What is the experience? If that solves (some) issues I will gladly change my settings. If you paste the text into translate.google.com it does a very good job on translating it. – johannes Oct 29 '22 at 09:34
  • @David, Do you have any idea why software wants me to download os-updates when I am up to date? Could that be a bug? – johannes Oct 29 '22 at 09:35
  • If it is not giving any names with the commands I gave you I could not even begin to guess. – David Oct 29 '22 at 09:44
  • @johannes I cannot give you any specific reproducible error case w.r.t. "english", sorry. Though I have very long experience running English OS setups, and having very few strange failures. I believe this is due to English setups are the ones having been most (thoroughly / hardest / ... ) tested... i.e. by the largest amount of people. – Hannu Oct 29 '22 at 17:28
  • This looks like phased updates. Please don't expect us to paste anything into google translate. – mook765 Nov 04 '22 at 06:56

    You can get english output by prepending LANGUAGE=en to your command like in LANGUAGE=en sudo apt update. – mook765 Nov 04 '22 at 07:38

it's probably related to the latest bug, that made Ubuntu store "Snap apps only". Actually i believe this thread is relevant to this issue. I have same issue on my freshly installed machine.

In short:

sudo killall snap-store
sudo snap refresh

Refresh will install downloaded fixes and after that everything become "up to date".
