Error while installing updates

[tomt]

I had the same problem on a fresh install. I could not even install updates after the installation was finished. I tried to install from Lite software, did not work. Install updates did not work. The way I solved it was to click on Firefox and download Google Chrome and install, then scroll down the menu and click on "preferred applications" and selected 
Chrome or Chromium does not matter whether you have Chrome or Chromium, they are both the same based browser.
I then rebooted and was able to do all of the above.
