Comment 3 for bug 1592678

And because it runs all the time, we get issues like bug 1594080. It also worsens bugs like bug 1575426 where a user attempts to work around the issue by restarting the Software app (only it's not actually restarted because the process never stopped running).

Now that gnome-software's update notifier has been disabled [1], is there any reason gnome-software needs a background service anyway? packagekit or whatever can finish installing or removing an app in the background without gnome-software needing to still be running for that, right?

[1] bug 1592382 since Ubuntu is currently better off using update-manager instead
