[Bug 1850966] Re: Stuck at "Refreshing software cache" after enabling repository not updated for Eoan

[pateksan]

In my case, I was following these steps:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/60613072/8957293
This lead to a message about an internal error, with a prompt to send details to developers, and it got stuck once I pressed send. I didn't record exactly what package was the issue, but gtk was included in the name.
Not much experience reporting bugs on linux - please let me know if more detail is needed.
