Some firmware updates, including DBX updates, are distributed via a
different service than apt: fwupd. The fwupdmgr program provides a
command-line interface; the most helpful commands are probably
"fwupdmgr get-updates" (get list of updates, i.e., equivalent to "apt
update"), "fwupdmgr update" (install updates) and "fwupdmgr get-
history" (history of installed firmware updates).
The system logs might also show what the graphical update tries to
install or why it might fail.

If the graphical interface (which one?) doesn't manage to successfully
install the update or still offers the update even though it was
installed, then that is probably a bug.
