Snapd Update Error via GNOME Software Store

Interesting...
This is what I get for removing and not using Snap / snapd on my system. I am not sure what is going on here.
Of course... Gnome-Software itself is buggy and may well be the culprit.

Try checking your updates in Gnome-Software now that you have reinstalled snapd and see if anything has changed.

sudo apt install --reinstall snapd gnome-software-plugin-snapd

Nothing is changed

No, I mean... Open Software and check the updates as shown in the O.P. ^

Nope, its same!

No, the error message is different. :wink:
Try

sudo apt install --reinstall ca-certificates policykit-1-gnome

It's showing the same error again and again

sudo apt install --reinstall ca-certificates policykit-1-gnome

What is Nautilus?

But it fixed the issue, I guess because now it doesn't show that package and update button anymore.

File and desktop Manager for Gnome Desktop.
The file manager is just called "Files" in the app menu because Gnome wants to be Windows when it grows up.

Okay...

After installing the above packages, the gnome-software app needed to clear the cache and completely re initialize. I thought logging out and in would be enough to do that - I was wrong on that. The killall command on gnome-software finally got it to refresh.
