When you get that run the terminal command

sudo apt update

And look at what it says.
Post the output if you're not sure what it means.

Yep mullvad.
Could be the issue they cite: Mirror sync in progress?

You could simply disable the repository for now (temporarily) which will allow Ubuntu normal updates to run.
Then re-enable later.

You can disable it in Software Updater's Settings > Other Software.
Just uncheck the box for the mullvad entry.
And to re-enable just reverse that and check the box again.

but it is not there..

Please run:

inxi -r

It will show where it is located if it is there.

Yep thar she blows.

sudo rm -rf /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mullvad.list

Then

sudo apt clean
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

[ronjjjg8885]

tnx
now the updater works well
but how to return the mullvad repository so i get the updates when they come?

[1fallen]

First

sudo apt install wget

next grab the installer

wget "https://mullvad.net/download/app/deb/latest" -O mullvad.deb

Now from the Directory the .deb is run

sudo dpkg -i mullvad.deb

I remember this was a problem on 22.04 so if needed

sudo apt install -f

Another way is to have curl installed:

sudo apt install curl

This will add the key, and we did not remove that, and we may need to still but for now:

sudo curl -fsSLo /usr/share/keyrings/mullvad-keyring.asc https://repository.mullvad.net/deb/mullvad-keyring.asc

Now we add the apt repo:

echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/mullvad-keyring.asc arch=$( dpkg --print-architecture )] https://repository.mullvad.net/deb/stable $(lsb_release -cs) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mullvad.list

Now update and let us know how this goes.

apt search mullvad
