Therefore it is usable for offline searching in the database but you will not see newer updates until you re-download the catalogues again (e.g. run the update).
Upgrading instead means bringing an installed application to a newer version. This requires in first place to have an updated database of available applications (e.g. having run the update). Of course, for updating as well as upgrading you need a connection to the internet.

why not include an equivalent of apt-get update && apt-get upgrade in the app?

What do you mean? You already have update and upgrade available.

Yes, I did all of these

Catalogues update works as expected and the log seems correct. Fapman hangs at "creating package view" whenever I ask to install, remove or upgrade packages.

Is it possible that dates aren't fetched and the program stalls for this reason?

You might try that out and deactivate date-fetching.
You can also do an "ls -l" on the cache directory and see wether the files have a sensible size (some hundred kB, might also be some MB in size). If files are too small there went sthg wrong with downloading or merging the catalogues.

And did you see the log for details? Would you mind sharing these details with us so we could probably help you?

I believe the suggestion was to include a couple of CLI accessible scripts in the package, such as those you linked earlier.

here is what the log says

/usr/bin/apt-get -qsy --allow-unauthenticated -o Dir::Etc::sourcelist=/opt/fapman-cache/sources.list -o Dir::State::lists=/opt/fapman-cache/lists -o Dir::Etc::sourceparts="" --auto-remove install cutetube

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
purple-extra-protocols: Depends: libpurple0 (>= 2.7.5-2nix1) but 2.7.3-0nix2 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

It's quite obvious, isn't it? You're trying to install something that depends on a library that isn't available in the needed version. You have two possibilities:

a) do not install the package that depends on that library (i.e.: deselect purple-extra-protocols from getting installed)
b) find out where to get that library in a satisfying version from and add the adequate repository or install manually before trying to install purple-extra-protocols.

That's it. No magic, just reading and thinking.
