Can't see any error messages there.
You can manually re-run the update process and set it to record the results to text files.
If you post the text files back here it might show what is happening.

To do this, open a terminal by pressing 'Ctrl' 'Alt' and 'T' keys together.

In the terminal window, type or paste in

Code:

sudo apt-get update | tee ~/"$(date +"%Y_%m_%d_%T")-apt-get-update.txt"

followed by return/enter.
Then

Code:

sudo apt-get upgrade | tee ~/"$(date +"%Y_%m_%d_%T")-apt-get-upgrade.txt"

followed by return/enter.
Enter your password if asked and answer any prompts with 'y'.

Running those commands should create two files called apt-get-update.txt and apt-get-upgrade.txt in your home directory.
The filenames will be prefixed with date and time information.
You can open them to check what they contain.
Check the file size is below the attachment limit and post back attaching the two files.

The alexlarsson flatpak PPA software doesn't (currently) have a release compatible with the version of Linux Lite being used which is jammy based.
This conflict is causing the update process to error.

The alexlarsson flatpak PPA software should be removed from the system and then the PPA needs to be removed from the update list.
Removing the PPA from the update list should allow the update to run.

If using PPA software, it is important that the PPA has a release that is compatible with the OS in use.
