Description Owen Taylor 2020-10-14 18:50:05 UTC

If you start a Flatpak update immediately after starting GNOME Software, then after a couple seconds the Update page switches to "Software is up to date" even though the update is continuing in the background.

The reason for this, as I understand it is:

 - The package-kit plugin causes a ::updates-changed notification on startup
 - This triggers gs_shell_reload_cb after a 5 second delay
 - gs_updates_page_reload() recreates the page from scratch, and doesn't handle in-progress updates correctly when doing that

I've only seen this when testing with 8.3.0 candidate packages but I don't think it's been fixed upstream since either.

That might be a stupid question, but how do I test this in a sane way, please? Am I able to downgrade a Flatpak application to some previous version? If so, how do I do that, please?

Hi Milan, 
you can downgrade flatpak but only those on flathub:

Nice, thanks.

Comment 4 Milan Crha 2021-02-19 08:14:29 UTC

I filled this upstream:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-software/-/issues/1150
and I'll provide a fix for it too. IF approved there, it can be backported to RHEL.
