output of gnome-software --verbose

Usually, gnome-software initiates the check for updates once a day.
However, after suspending and then resuming my laptop the next day,
gnome-software is kinda dead:

1. No active checks for updates are performed (confirmed via dconf dump
/org/gnome/software/)

2. gnome-software UI hangs anyways:
- listing the Software Repositories results in a forever-and-ever loading
pop-up window
- clicking on Updates shows that last check has been performed yesterday;
clicking on the refresh button ends up in forever-and-ever "checking for
updates"

Attached is output of `gnome-software --verbose`, including my annotations.


This is packagekit status:

(My time zone is UTC+2 (for comparing gnome-software's output with above
packagekit status))



After this, I started Package Updater => found updates and installed them.
This is packagekit status after this:
