This is really a gnome-software bug, but it doesn't have a bz component yet, so filing against gnome-packagekit for now. Another thing to look at in this context is software sources - if the polkit privileges are missing to change repositories, we shouldn't offer the big red remove button. Created attachment 1028452 [details]
incomplete patch
Here is a quick proof-of-concept.
To try it, UPDATES_ARE_MANAGED=1 ./gnome-software (after killing your session service). Also try UPDATES_ARE_MANAGED=1 ./gnome-software --mode=updates
Still tbd: How do we determine if the system is managed - look at polkit privileges, add a separate setting, something else ?
More complete patch in the upstream bug We backported the patch to gnome-software 3.14.6 which is the version included in the rebase errata. Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA.
