[Bug 1580836] Re: Gnome Software ignores software-properties-gtk "When there are other updates" setting and displays update notification too regularly

[Alberto Salvia Novella]

If the Update Notified is installed it should be the only daemon
displaying that kind of notifications. So GNOME Software notifications
should be disabled all together.

The question is if they should be disabled in the gnome-software
package, or in the update-notifier one.

  Gnome Software ignores software-properties-gtk "When there are other

Bug description:
  On Ubuntu 16.04, using gnome-software 3.20.1+git20160426.1.a976144
  -ubuntu-xenial-0ubuntu1

  software-properties-gtk has a setting for "When there are other
  updates" besides security updates. Setting this to "Display every two
  weeks" should prevent all non-security update notifications from
  bothering the user more often than every two weeks.

  gnome-software categorizes some non-security updates as "OS Updates"
  and every day it displays the pop-up message "Software Updates
  Available Important OS and application updates are ready to be
  installed."
