Dude.  Seriously?  I was milliseconds away from deleting this message
as obvious spam, until I saw the second paragraph.

This message you've written is a golden example of how NOT to choose
a Subject: header, and how NOT to begin a request for help.

What is a "Software store"?  What "Software Updates feature" are you
seeing?

Are you sure you're even running Debian?  If you're running something
that's "based on Debian", we may not know anything about it.

If you are running Debian, which version of Debian is it, and which
Desktop Environment, if any, are you using?

If what you're seeing is part of some Desktop Environment, then maybe
someone else on this mailing list will recognize it.  The more details you
can provide about it, the better.  Are you seeing log messages indicating
that someting is installing package updates?  If so, which log file are
they in, and most importantly, *exactly what do these messages say*?

> Tripwire is useless with automated system updates etc.

I have to question whether tripwire is more useful than Debian's security
updates.  Though, if your plan is to run "apt update" and "apt upgrade"
by hand, at a time of your choosing, so that you can update tripwire's
state afterward, then that's fine.
