When I stated using Zorin (have really enjoyed this OS) I would update and install off the ap. Now I notice that in the all tab, it shows like six suggestions, and the next tab that use to show me all that was installed on my system, now nothing. The update shows me nothing when the little icon says I have an update. What is going on with this applications??? Any help would be appreciated, maybe I have brought something to your attention, maybe not. Thanks for everything.

Could you be a little clearer - did you use Software or Synaptic Package Manager? ;)

When I hit the Zorin icon lower left corner, you can hit system tools and then "software" or you can hit software on the right side above settings. It is just marked "software" not using terminal.

All updates have been kept up with, using Zorin 12.4 core and been very happy except for this little bump.

On the first screenshot it use to list all programs installed not just the update I just did, second has the editors pick like yours but no recommendations. It use to have a ton of others, but thanx

Code:
sudo rm -rvf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
