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

[Nick]

I followed the complex instructions but that wasn't there. I ran the
command after your comment but when I saw the step about letting all my
applications write to Launchpad without an explanation about what they
might do to my Launchpad account, I declined. The terminal doesn't show
the output, so there's nothing to post here manually, but if you have a
specific question about the platform or something like that let me know.

Title:
  contradiction between Software Updater and Ubuntu's Software app

Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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
