[Bug 1933747] [NEW] contradiction between Software Updater and Ubuntu's Software app

[Nick]

Public bug reported:

Steps to reproduce:

0. This may be intermittent.

1. Wait till Ubuntu's Software Updater reports that an update is
available.

2. Open Ubuntu Software > Updates > refresh. If a checkmark is visible,
meaning no updates are waiting, go to the next step.

3. With Software Updater, install what it offers.

Actual result: Despite Software Updater being successful and having
revealed update availability before Ubuntu Software was open, Ubuntu
failed to reveal that an update was available.

Expected result: Consistency between both.

Additional info:

Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS, kept evergreen.

Software app, ver. 3.38.1, unless updated.

update-manager 1:20.04.10.7
