Muon finds no updates.

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade finds no updates.

sudo apt-get install -f doesn't do anything.

The Ubuntu Updater icon says there are 3 updates, but when it searches for them, it doesn't find any, but the icon stays in my panel.

There's a transitory error message saying something about kednlive, but it goes away before I can read all of it. kdenlive was installed, but is not installed now.

I think this may have started after I installed a flatpak for the newest version of kcalc.

How can I fix this so I know when real updates are available?

Is there a way to run whatever that icon launches from a terminal where there might be more messages?

kubuntu 18.04.

$ sudo fwupdmgr refresh
Fetching metadata https://cdn.fwupd.org/downloads/firmware.xml.gz
Downloading…             [***************************************]
Fetching signature https://cdn.fwupd.org/downloads/firmware.xml.gz.asc

bigbird@sananda:~/pq

Finally took a picture of my screen with my phone and got this message before it disappeared:

kdenlive projectprofile knsrc: Loading of providers from file https://kdenlive.org/data/mltprofilesources.xml failed

I found this answer and did a sudo rm -f /etc/xdg/kdenlive* which got rid of that error message, but didn't affect the rest of the problem.

locate -b kdenlive

gets a ton of hits, mostly in flatpak and in snap, but almost all of them are png and svg icons, etc.

Deleted ~/.config/kdenliverc, but that didn't make a difference.

rm -rf ~/.local/share/kdenlive

got rid of a bunch of files, but didn't help otherwise.

Just rebooted and updater icon in panel persists.

    Does `sudo apt full-upgrade` work? – Terrance May 07 '22 at 16:11
  • What gives `sudo fwupdmgr refresh` maybe firmware updates. – nobody May 07 '22 at 20:19
  • @Terrance sudo apt full-upgrade does nothing. I think that's what Muon does under the GUI hood. – Joe May 08 '22 at 07:04
  • @nobody haven't seen that one before. It did something, but didn't resolve the problem. – Joe May 08 '22 at 07:07
  • does `fwupdmgr get-updates` show any updates? – nobody May 08 '22 at 09:43

    Sorry, there is a bug about this that wasn't fixed until 19.10 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=385754 and see https://askubuntu.com/questions/1174173/why-does-kubuntu-show-an-update-that-apparently-doesnt-exist-why-is-my-updat – Terrance May 08 '22 at 13:28
  • @Terrance That "fixed" it. If you make it an answer, I will upvote it. Thanks. – Joe May 08 '22 at 18:41
