OK

I suppose I was considering the three kind is defilements, namely, greed, hatred & delusion and felt there was a lack of mundane dukkha based around delusion-ignorance-confusion.

Most of the dukkha seems connected to pleasant & unpleasant feelings, that is, sorrow, pain, the loved, the unloved, wanting, etc.

In the suttas, the Buddha gives a special antidote for confusion-ignorance, such as follows:

If, when touched by a feeling of neither pleasure nor pain, one does not discern, as it actually is present, the origination, passing away, allure, drawback and escape from that feeling, then one's ignorance-tendency gets obsessed. That a person — without uprooting ignorance-tendency with regard to a feeling of neither pleasure nor pain, without abandoning ignorance and giving rise to clear knowing — would put an end to suffering & stress in the here & now: such a thing isn't possible.

Chachakka Sutta Often human beings feel confused, desiring to understand, frustrated because they do not know a reason, path or solutions, etc.

I was thinking this is a little different to "association with the unloved/disliked" and "wanting something and not getting it".

Kind regards
