Hi everyone.
I have recently upgraded from Mint Mate 20.3 to 21.1.
Everything is ok so far, and I am happy with the system.
Only one package is stuck and shows that it needs to be updated and when I click update, nothing happens, it only offers to ignore the update and I do not want to do that, I have searched around for a way to remove it from my system and perhaps re-install or completely remove but I can't for the life of me find out how as I do not know which package I should remove.
Please find below a screenshot of the package name showing in the update manager.

Re: Update Issue
Hi Spamegg, thank you so much for taking the time to try to help me, appreciate it.
I found the solution
The package was found to be flatpak package, I simply ran flatpak update in the terminal and updated everything.
I then removed it from my system and this is just a personal choice as I do not need it.
Steps followed:
flatpak update
flatpak uninstall --delete-data org.gtk.Gtk3theme.Mint-Y
Now everything is fine and back to normal
Thanks again.
