When opening gnome software and clicking the update icon, then these errors show up.
Should I ignore it?
EDIT 2021-12-21: None of the answers below seems to work.

1I am seeing a similar error since quite a while, though it's "The name :1.109 was not provided by any .service files" in my case. I also find this bug with more details in the syslog: systemd[1]: apt-daily-upgrade.service: Succeeded. systemd[1]: Finished Daily apt upgrade and clean activities. gnome-software[4331]: not GsPlugin error FwupdError:10: The name :1.109 was not provided by any .service files gnome-software[4331]: not handling error failed for action refresh: The name :1.109 was not provided by any .service files …and this repeats 2 more times.– w-skySep 17, 2021 at 9:54

1Reinstalling
gnome-softwaresolves the issue for a short time, but you still have to issue this command again after a while. Apr 29, 2022 at 7:00 -
Only a more explicit
sudo apt autoremove gnome-software && sudo apt install gnome-softwareseems to have worked for me (and now I wonder where I found it but surely wasn't my idea :) ) May 25, 2022 at 22:40
Seems to be an issue on several distros (Zorin, RedHat, Arch...). Based on this post:
sudo apt clean
sudo du -sh /var/cache/apt/ && sudo rm -rf /var/cache/apt/
pkill gnome-software; pkcon refresh force
pkcon comes with PackageKit (packagekit-toolspackage), a distro-agnostic alternative to apt.

Try with
sudo apt install policykit-1
It might help.

1The error means that the gnome-software app is not connecting to a file that helps populate some if not all the software inside the window dialog. Do you have any apps installed thru Flatpak? If yes do; #$ flatpak list This will show you a list of apps installed thru flatpak In my case; org.audacityteam.Audacity/x86_64/stable so the NAME will be; org.audacityteam.Audacity so! run; #$flatpak update NAME FOR EACH APP if not then try to reinstall gnome-software to allow it to regain access to the right links, if that makes any sense!

sudo apt install --reinstall gnome-softwareseems to have done the trick. Nov 24, 2021 at 17:23 -
@hosford42 that solved the problem for me --- you should add this as an answer!– RmanoDec 1, 2021 at 8:27
If the problem its with the flatpak apps maybe you can try to run:
sudo apt install gnome-software-plugin-flatpak
