Others with a Debian-based distro: are you having issues with updates?
I have two ongoing issues for some weeks now:
[1] Whatever primary and secondary repositories I select will work once, then fail at the next update. After selecting different repositories and rebuilding the cache, the update will work again ... but only once.
[2] Flatpak runtime package org.freedesktop.Platform sits in the Update Manager and never updates. If it's the only package when I click Install Updates, the utility thinks for a moment, and then ignores it.
After tweaking the repositories and ignoring the above package, other updates work without issue.
I'm on Linux Mint 22.3 with kernel 6.8.0-147-generic.
Any advice?
@leighelse I've recently had the issue that my local Debian/Ubuntu mirror (ucmirror.canterbury.ac.nz) seems to have been frozen... it caused the sort of annoyance you've experienced. I've ended up switching all my systems to a different local mirror, which has fixed all the issues... not sure if that's your situation... but hope you find a solution soon! It's very unusual, but also mighty annoying when updates don't work.
