I upgraded Ubuntu from 20.04LTS to 22.04LTS and now my Ubuntu Software GUI is not working anymore it is not opening at all. I have googled the entire internet and nothing works. I removed and installed gnome-software. When I tried sudo apt install --reinstall software-center it gave me the error: package software center has no installation candidate. What does that even mean? What can I do to use my Software Center again?

EDIT:

The command cat /etc/apt/sources.list outputs the following:

jan@Ubuntu-20-04:~$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list
# deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 20.04.2.0 LTS _Focal Fossa_ - Release amd64 (20210209.1)]/ focal main restricted

The software-center deb package was removed from Ubuntu before 18.04. It's been gone from the repositories a long time.

If you upgraded from 16.04 to 18.04 to 20.04, the old deb package might have remained upon your system. It would still have worked.

The 'Ubuntu Software' application is currently provided by the snap-store snap.

sudo snap install snap-store
