I recently experienced this, my account was not invalidated yet certain updates that had previously failed would not retry, and failed with unauthorized. I modified the updatestore.db to remove the rows for the failed entries, and the updates worked.
So effectively somehow a failed update logged to the db will lock the user from ever getting the app update. I can assume we are using some cached but bad data from the db to retry, whereas we should start over. ** This bug is no longer a duplicate of bug 1516917 Update of unpurchased and sideloaded apps causes U1 account invalidation ** Changed in: canonical-devices-system-image Importance: Undecided => Critical ** Changed in: canonical-devices-system-image Milestone: None => backlog ** Changed in: canonical-devices-system-image Assignee: (unassigned) => Bill Filler (bfiller) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1620828 Title: unable to update apps (HttpError:401 - UNAUTHORIZED) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1620828/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
