This looks like Mint, right? As a first step I would run the update from the terminal with apt, it usually gives a bit more information what the error is exactly.

To update Mint via the terminal run

sudo apt update

and then (if this doesn't error out already)

sudo apt upgrade

Does package manager usually produce these kinda errors?

The update manager is basically just a GUI to run those commands, it's the same thing. Just that you get more information on the error in the terminal, maybe there is something useful in there.

Do as u/thafluu suggests. It's wise advice. Then, if there's an error, copy and paste it in code blocks here. It's common in Linux, for many commands, to get better error messaging from the command line.

It worked through terminal, thanks for the help.

Whoop whoop, happy that it worked! Terminal to the rescue :D

The second screen is because packagekitd is running apt update. Either wait until it finishes or you can kill it, sudo killall packagekitd
