snap refresh stuck on the same message [SOLVED]

[ipv]

since over a week now every time i give the command sudo snap refresh i get this :

" firefox 100.0.2-1 from Mozilla✓ refreshed "

today i got a message in the notifications center saying brave update pending shut down browser to avoid disruptions.

i shut down brave & did sudo snap refresh & brave got updated after which when i did sudo snap refresh again i got the same :

" firefox 100.0.2-1 from Mozilla✓ refreshed "

it seems snapd is stuck on firefox from mozilla.

if i aint wrong when i do sudo snap refresh i should get :

" All snaps up to date. "

but instead i get " All snaps up to date. " when i do sudo snap refresh --list

for your better understanding of my 22.04 snap setup :

sudo snap list gives me this :

Hi Miguel,

no thank you needed, it is just my contribution in making ubuntu the best linux distro.

hoping that you can guys fix this at the earliest.

[ipv (ipv)]

this is just to fill you guys in,

just did a sudo snap refresh & there was an update for core20 which went through & at the end of the update wherein only core20 was updated i still got :

core20 20220512 from Canonical✓ refreshed
firefox 100.0.2-1 from Mozilla✓ refreshed

many apologies for the extended delay in reverting back.

the problem no more persists.

sudo snap refresh >

All snaps up to date.

Launchpad Janitor, Miguel Pires & Paul White thank you loads.
