https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1186877 Bug ID: 1186877 Summary: GNOME PackageKit updater (gpk-update-viewer) notifications about updates can be misleading Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 15.3 Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: GNOME Assignee: gnome-bugs@suse.de Reporter: sknorr@suse.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- gpk-update-viewer is installed by default on openSUSE GNOME systems and periodically shows notifications about package updates. Unfortunately, it does have a tons of weird UI bugs that not only make the software feel unfinished but also make the desktop itself feel unpolished. One of these issues is that gpk-update-viewer will create notifications periodically about updates being available. However, it will also create these notifications despite the fact that no actual updates are available: You click the notification, the gpk-update-viewer main window opens and it tells you there are no updates. This is not appropriate behavior for a default system component that users periodically have to interact with and which can't be uninstalled without also uninstalling important GNOME patterns. Please update the tool to avoid sending useless notifications. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
