Every time I try to install a new application or software(for eg: git,gcc to run c ,..), the above error is being thrown. Here it is:

My laptop's OS version is Ubuntu 22.04. When I try to open Software & Updates, it is not not opening, i.e. whenever I click on that app, it's coming back to my desktop page. Could this be the reason for the above error? If that is the reason, how to fix it?
