After uninstalling some apps (e.g. a LibreOffice package) and installing them again after some time there are two app bars in Ubuntu Software menu - one with "remove" and one with "install" button for every app previously uninstalled.

And none of those buttons work - the bar starts loading, but doesn't finish installing/removing an app (in every case it's pretty the same).

What's wrong? Do I have to do some special disc cleaning after that issue? Or will just sudo apt-get autoremove be enough?

I use Ubuntu 16.04 with GNOME instead of preinstalled Unity.

Ubuntu Software shows applications which are available both as debs and snaps, in which case you may see the same application twice. LibreOffice is one such application.
