Just curious...have you opened a terminal and typed: sudo apt-get update &&
sudo apt-get upgrade or sudo apt-get dist-upgrade  ??

See what that does.  Over the years I've come to realize that GUI package
managers don't do the job that running the commands from CLI do.  This is in
every distro I've ever tried.  Not sure why it is, but that's just how it is
and I'm one of millions that think this way.  The power of a Linux OS is
from the CLI.  It's easier to learn than most people think it is.  It's also
quicker to use a package manager from the CLI from my experience.

Good luck and hope this helps.
