Update Manager crashes when selecting some updates

As Update Manager was crashing when I was selecting some updates I ran it through the terminal (update-manager) and this is the output till its crash:

WARNING:root:can not import unity GI Namespace Dbusmenu not available
malloc(): unsorted double linked list corrupted
Cancelled (core dump created)

The first line was displayed at program startup while the other 2 were displayed at the moment it crashed. I just selected and installed some updates singularly instead of selecting more and it didn't crash again. Maybe installing all updates at once works but I install updates manually and one by one or more in groups after reading their description, I never simply install them all at once.


Note: WARNING:root:can is a disgrace for grammar :weary::person_facepalming::smile:, why all attached?

Do you get any Error Messages when You update the System over the Teminal with sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade?

Actually possible missing firmware warnings. The output was long but, excluding whatever went fine, this :point_down: is the part containing errors:

I'd have preferred to not update everything for preference but I accepted to enter the command as installing all updates isn't a very great problem to me and I trust you :smile::handshake:. Now I just hope that I didn't install any update that give issues like some users reported :grimacing:.

Did You installed any AMD Drivers manual and uninstalled them?

2 other Things I find interesting, too:

  1. You have a lot of Kernels installed
  2. os-prober is off. Do you have a dual-Boot System or Zorin only?

As Additional Drivers never proposed me drivers I never installed any. I don't know anything about kernels except that they're necessary for the system to run :grin:, the reason for having many kernels (maybe even far beyond the normal) is unknown to me :person_shrugging: and I replaced Windows with Zorin OS.
