The updater does not really support installation made from the Debian package, as opposite with the Generic installer.

In this case STM32CubeIDE installation is usually owned by root:root which prevent the application to update itself. Unless the app is executed as root... thing which is obviously never recommended.

The recommended way to update your application is to download the new version from the website.
