I've been using ubuntu as my daily driver for a while already (since version 18 LTS). It's very useful and I personally love it.
I've recently installed ubuntu desktop 22.04.1 LTS on a brand new computer (last saturday 1/28/2023).
The first couple of days went fine, as expected. Installed a few tools from a variety of ways:
- Zip/targz files (unpack, set permissions and use it)
- snap (usually from ubuntu software gui)
- apt (from terminal commands)
As usual, when prompted by ubuntu software update gui, I apply available updates.
I also run "sudo apt update" command from terminal. If upgrades are available, I tipically run "sudo apt upgrade" to apply available upgrades and, eventually, run "sudo apt autoremove" to remove any unused packages left.
Up until ubuntu 20 LTS, this was going smoothly. No problems at all.
But with ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS, upgrades are not only increasing but also being skipped from the upgrade process as shown below:

I know I can issue a command to upgrade a specific package like: sudo apt upgrade snapd
On the other hand this does not sound very smart since on older ubuntu versions, a single upgrade command used to do the job.
Anybody knows what's going on?
