"Your System is Up To Date" message after trying to update

[Yoru3]

  Please help – I don’t get update errors very often, and when they have happen I try again later, or retry after a reboot and all is well.


But having done that this time, after going through the update motions and fetching, it now  always says “Your System is Up To Date”, despite there being several updates available, as indicated by the notifications.


I get this from the update log.

Do I need to reset something that may have become invalid or corrupted?


I’ve tried unticking ppa’s, but always get the same “Your System Is Up to Date” message.


Thanks in advance.

The way the Wine application has been installed uses an authentication method (apt-key) where keys are stored in a shared file.
This method has a potential security problem and the update process is warning about Wine using this method.

The warning message does not stop the updates happening and so your system gets updated.

More details and what to do to stop the warning messages can be found on the net in articles like this

Several common applications including Wine are available from Lite Software.

Yes, thanks stevef,
I eventually got to realise the problem was wine, but the issue seems to have been a bit deeper, and involved the update process not being able to open a locked file.
Under sudo I tried apt --fix-broken install, but got permission denied. I even tried root but still had problems.
Meanwhile, I tried to update my VPN but the .deb installer refused, saying the system fault had to be solved first.
Long story short, I eventually solved it under root, and initially hadn't realised how many separate parts (packages) to wine there were.
But finally solved it by using under root (sudo su) with:-

Code:

apt remove wine*
apt autoremove

Got a bit worried with all the auto removals, especially when it said it had detected my dual boot, since I now have both LL4.8 and LL6.4, as insurance.
But all was well, and it obviously had a very good clean up, as I hadn't used autoremove since installing the system.
All I have to do now is work out the best way to install the latest version of a stable wine.
Many Thanks
