This is a downstream report of https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-software/-/issues/2890#note_2531133 , filed to nominate as a Beta freeze exception issue. The bogus notification breaks several openQA tests, which is a problem for test coverage. The problem is that GNOME Software with the dnf5 plugin shows a bogus "updates installed" notification on first boot after install, claiming that every single package in the system was "updated".
openQA testing confirms that the gnome-software-49~beta-6 build fixed this. Unfortunately the update for it has been obsoleted by the 49~rc-1 update, https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2025-c1d025901f . It might not be bad to pull in the RC build, though, especially if it improves https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-software/-/issues/2874 . I'll see how the RC build does in the next Rawhide compose.
FEDORA-2025-c1d025901f (gnome-software-49~rc-1.fc43) has been submitted as an update to Fedora 43. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2025-c1d025901f
FEDORA-2025-c1d025901f has been pushed to the Fedora 43 testing repository. Soon you'll be able to install the update with the following command: `sudo dnf upgrade --enablerepo=updates-testing --refresh --advisory=FEDORA-2025-c1d025901f` You can provide feedback for this update here: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2025-c1d025901f See also https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Updates_Testing for more information on how to test updates.

The fix for this looks good in Rawhide testing - we don't seem to have seen this notification since "- dnf5-plugin: Skip historical updates search when no last date is set" in beta-6.
FEDORA-2025-167d00534c (gnome-software-49~rc-2.fc43) has been pushed to the Fedora 43 stable repository. If problem still persists, please make note of it in this bug report.
somehow, in F43 testing of the GNOME 49-rc megaupdate, we're seeing a Software Updates Installed notification *during the live session*, e.g. https://openqa.fedoraproject.org/tests/3698347#step/_boot_to_anaconda/8 where it showed up almost immediately after live image boot. This doesn't seem to have happened in testing of the F44 megaupdate. I'm not sure why there's a difference. Will look into it more in the morning.
The bug #2392645 will switch back to the PackageKit for the f43. I guess you do not want to waste your time on this then.
yes, if the revert goes through it should resolve this, but we may need/want to bundle it into the megaupdate so this doesn't interfere with testing/gating of that.
Aha. I cannot add to the mega update, thus I filled https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2025-7f21f13867 (see bug #2392645). If Michael wants to "adopt" that gnome-software for the mega update then I've nothing against it. There will be a new release on this Friday, thus not much time.
separate update is fine if it doesn't directly depend on anything in the megaupdate (in fact it gives us more flexibility).
