Some firmware updates, including DBX updates, are distributed via a different service than apt: fwupd. The fwupdmgr program provides a command-line interface; the most helpful commands are probably "fwupdmgr get-updates" (get list of updates, i.e., equivalent to "apt update"), "fwupdmgr update" (install updates) and "fwupdmgr get- history" (history of installed firmware updates). The system logs might also show what the graphical update tries to install or why it might fail. > I'm posting here because I don't know if this is a bug or what > facility I would even file a bug report against. If the graphical interface (which one?) doesn't manage to successfully install the update or still offers the update even though it was installed, then that is probably a bug. Ansgar
