Bug Description
Every morning about ~30mins after powering on my focal machine I get (unprompted) a gnome-shell policykit authorisation popup saying 'authentication is required to install software' - I haven't yet actually authorised it since I wasn't sure what was causing it, however I notice that if I cancel the authorisation then I see a bunch of notifications from gnome-software about updates having been successfully installed (even though I presume it hasn't been since I never authorised it).
Is gnome-software fighting snapd to refresh snaps?
