Can't decipher Software Updater error

Ask Ubuntu Asked on November 9, 2021

Trying to do a Software Updater update. Get this error which appears to say it needs the same software that it is trying to install:

Package dependencies cannot be resolved

This error could be caused by required additional software packages which are 
missing or not installable. 
Furthermore there could be a conflict between software packages which are not 
allowed to be installed at the same time.
Transaction failed: Package dependencies cannot be resolved
 The following packages have unmet dependencies:

gnome-software-plugin-snap: 
Depends: gnome-software (= 3.36.1-0ubuntu0.20.04.0) 
but 3.36.1-0ubuntu0.20.04.0 is to be installed
ubuntu-software: Depends: gnome-software (>= 3.36.1-0ubuntu0.20.04.0) 
but 3.36.1-0ubuntu0.20.04.0 is to be installed

One Answer

From the comments above one can easily deduce that doing sudo apt-get install gnome-software or sudo apt-get install gnome-software=<version you chose> would solve this problem as it would install the missing package that is causing the Software Updater to fail.
