[Bug 2041845] Re: Notifies about some ancient downgrades on every boot

No. But there might be leftovers from Xubuntu desktop which was installed for some time or many older Ubuntu versions (since 16.04).

pkcon offline-get-prepared
Command failed: No offline updates have been prepared

OK, it shouldn't re-occur again, but how can I clear this? Remove gnome-
software?

`pkcon get-transactions` gives several transactions from
2023-05-12T03:10:50.577373Z to 2023-07-27T12:04:40.566288Z. It looks
weird because it reports installing the same package twice in the same
transaction.

Like this:

Title:
  Notifies about some ancient downgrades on every boot

Status in packagekit package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Preparing for upgrade from 22.04 to 23.04 some packages were
  downgraded (or just marked as such?) and now update-notifier reminds
  me about them on every boot, this makes me likely to miss important
  upgrades available, because I tend now to dismiss it without looking.

  google-chrome-stable was upgraded many times since then, but I still
  get notifications about that 113.0... version. Btw, it says about
  downgrade from the current version!

  It's update-notifier/lunar,now 3.192.64 amd64
