Bug description
Just updated to Linux Mint 22.1. Now the Update Manager does not work.
Steps to reproduce
1: See update indicator in the system tray.
2. Left-click same to open the Update Manager.
3. Note that there are 2 updates pending and they are selected.
4. Left-click the Install Updates button
5. 4: The update manager blanks the window as it does a check for new updates, then returns to the main screen WITHOUT doing the previously selected updates.
6. This cycle repeats endlessly.
Expected behavior
Previously, any selected updates were done quickly.
Additional information
Got nothing more to say here folks, but will happily answer any questions you come up with.

Research direction
No source file or test is named. First reproduce the loop on Linux Mint 22.1 with package version 6.4.8, then inspect the Update Manager entry point and its logs while applying the two selected updates. Done means selected updates install successfully instead of the window returning to the main screen indefinitely.
