updates list not updated when snap autorefresh

[dann frazier]

Today I noticed that the software manager is telling me there's a juju update available (2.7.1), with an option to update. When I click update, it says "Unable to update juju: snap has no updates available". Sure enough, `snap info` confirms that I'm already on 2.7.*2*:

Thank you for your bug report. Was the snap maybe autorefreshed in the background during the same time?
snap changes should give you an hint about that

Unsure how gnome-software can/should handle that properly (it should at least refresh the list when changes are applied)

I suspect it did autorefresh, but didn't confirm. But yeah, the issue IMO is the UI one. Once I click update, I'd expect gnome-software to see that it was already up to date and respond as though the update was complete - i.e., go away :)

I had exactly te same behaviour with LXD. The was a update notification in gnome-shell. Clicking on it opened gnome-shell with the LXD update but there was no update available.

snap changes shows that the snap has been autorefreshed.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

The issue is fixed in the snap-store which isn't listing snap updates in the UI since those are handled automatically

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

It's still an issue with 3.38 on edge (rev490)
