Software Updater fails to launch

[Steven]

selecting software update from the menu does nothing.
selecting it manually from the list of apps also does nothing.
attempting to launch it from the 'install software' page also doesn't work.

i recently upgraded to 24.04, but this was working before today.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

Bug reporting is about finding & fixing problems thus preventing future users from hitting the same bug.

I suspect a Support site would be more appropriate, eg. https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu. You can also find help with your problem in the support forum of your local Ubuntu community http://loco.ubuntu.com/ or asking at https://askubuntu.com or https://ubuntuforums.org, or for more support options please look at https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/community-support/709

No clues as to what your system is (Ubuntu Core? Ubuntu Desktop? Ubuntu Server?) were included in your filing.

Please execute the following command only once, as it will automatically gather debugging information, in a terminal:

apport-collect 2069219

When reporting bugs in the future please use apport by using 'ubuntu-bug' and the name of the package affected. You can learn more about this functionality at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReportingBugs.
