Ubuntu

Snap-store can't update itself (update pending).

Asked by Ricardo

in each update of Snap-Store, ubuntu prompts 'Snap Store update pending'.
Probably it's happing because it can't update itself while runing.
In many forums I see recomendations of runing a prompt and then:
~/ sudo snap-store quit

and then:

~/ sudo apt update.

I assume that you need the command

sudo snap refresh

Remark:
The snap system is configured to periodically run updates for all snap packages (and snap-store is one of them). A snap package cannot be updated, when it is in use, hence the warning message. If you close the snap-store and wait some time, then the update should be executed in the background. Or you close it and run the command given above.

Can you help with this problem?
