I could use some help in figuring out why the Upgrade button on the software updater doesn't do anything. I did some googling and answers were that I had updates that weren't installed. So, I sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade. It says that there was 1 not upgraded. I'm pretty sure that sudo apt-get --upgradeable -a would list the package that needs to be updated and it showed:

nick@nick-HP-Pavilion-Laptop-15-cs0xxx:~$ apt list --upgradable -a Listing... Done calendar-indicator/bionic,bionic 0.4.0-0extras19.04.1 all [upgradable from: 0.3.4-0extras15.10.0] calendar-indicator/now 0.3.4-0extras15.10.0 all [installed,upgradable to: 0.4.0-0extras19.04.1]

So am I on the right path here? Is the calendar-indicator the stuck package? How would I go about getting it to update so I can upgrade to 20.04 via the software updater?

Thanks in advance.

If your are trying to upgrade from 18.04 (LTS version) to 20.04 (LTS version) you'll have to wait for the first point release. This would be 20.04.1. As it currently stands, this release is out. So why does the updater not update? Because the metadata file is not yet updated. Wait for the folks at Ubuntu to update the metadata, so it lists Focal Fossa. (Based on this comment)

It looks like it's trying to update calendar-indicator to a version that's newer than your current 18.04.

I'd check your /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list files for the atareao PPA, and verify that it's got the proper current system name in the deb line.

For the short term... you can uninstall calendar-indicator, do sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade, to install any possible outstanding installs, then the UPGRADE button in Software Updater should work. Then after the 20.04.1 upgrade is complete, reinstall calendar-indicator if you wish to.
