[Bug 1613922] [NEW] Trying to run "ubuntu-software" from command line over an X session; could not update packages.

[Matthew J. Hill]

Public bug reported:

Trying to run "ubuntu-software" from command line over an X session;
interface loads and navigation to update page successful.  Attempted to
update software packages, but the app simply hung and would not update
any packages.  Had to kill the app via ^C to get out.
