Software Update Error On Notebook with 32 GB EMMC

[Planorez]

I installed Mint 20.2 on a HP Notebook with a 32 GB EMMC drive with EUFI and secure boot enabled. The install and first boot were normal. When I tried doing a system software update starting with installing a new Update Manager I got an Update Error(see screen capture file). I did the configure-a in the terminal but on the next update try, I get the same error. I tried turning off secure boot but it had no effect. Also, I tried installing another app and it wouldn't install like I couldn't write to the EMMC. I would appreciate help with this.
Thanks,

Did you forget to use sudo?

Code: Select all

 sudo dpkg --configure -a

Yes, I used sudo and as I mentioned, I tried to update again and got the same error.

sleeper12- I ran the scripts you recommended and rebooted my notebook. All the updates ran fine and I was able to install additional apps. Thanks for your help.

I wasn't quite sure if that would work, so glad to hear that it did.

Is there a gui solution for this problem?
