Bug Description
Impact
gnome-software just landed in Ubuntu this cycle and still has some reliability issues
Test case
deb backend
In addition of testing specific fixes listed in the changelog also make sure there is no functional regressions.
snap backend
the new backend is going to be enable starting with that version, searching for a snap (e.g "hello-world") should work, installing it should prompt for u1 credentials and successfully install
Regression impact
the snap backend was not enabled before so that shouldn't create new issues, the deb changes are mostly covered by specific bug reports and the other small tweaks shouldn't create issues
-----
The first gnome-software SRU is going to include some fixes and code improvements not matching referenced bugs, we also wants to enable the snaps backend since it's working well enough for that now
