Failed To Update on Zorin OS 17.3 Pro

[jre10]

Hi, thank you for Zorin OS

With the Zorin OS 17.3 Pro update
I have got a first message about a "partial update".

The system propose me to finish this update later, with an upcoming update.

From this update,
I have this message of update failing:

Detailed errors from the package manager follow:
failed to build result for 362301da643102b9f38477387e2193e57abaa590

Do I have to run again this update ?

Note: except this message, Zorin works perfectly.

Thank you for your feedback.

When I downloaded this update I got a similar (but not the same) "Failed to Update" message. I shut my PC down for the night, and when I started Zorin the next morning, I clicked on Zorin Updater, and after 3 or 4 seconds, told me my software was up to date. When I checked on Start menu>System>Tour I found that I now had Pro 17.3 installed. Perhaps your system will do the same.

Take a Look at this and try if it works:

Fix "Failed To Update" Error

[jre10]

Thank you @Ponce-De-Leon

Works fine now.

[jre10]

Sorry...

This problem again.

And it slows down my PC, and I am obliged to restart it!

I will be obliged to do this action at each system update?

Thank you for your feedback @Ponce-De-Leon

Take a look in this thread. There are some solutions from the zorin group that you could try.

Secure Boot dbx Failed to build error issue

Original issue resolved I'll report back re. stability in a few days

The last one is 12h ago (scroll nearly to the end):

Secure Boot dbx Failed to build error issue

After spending some time researching this issue further, we've identified and created a potential solution for it with the standard fwupd package (APT). However, it would need to be tested more thoroughly to ensure that it fully resolves the issue and doesn't introduce any regressions that would affect the stability of the system in general. How to test the solution If you're still experiencing this issue – even after following the steps I mentioned in this post – and you're happy to test pre-p…

Thank you, I will try today.

Please, note I try again the @Ponce-De-Leon solution and I did this error message

No it is not the same. They made a ppa now. First add this.
I added the link to the description of AZorin. Click on it and try if it helps you.

Unfortunately this Time it seems to be a Problem with the Package. In @Forpli's already post Link:
