Bug Description
[Impact]
.deb package updates are shown in GNOME Software and the user is prompted to "Restart & Update". They are not updated during the restart.
[Test Case]
1. Have a system with updates available
2. Open GNOME Software
3. Go to Updates page
Expected result:
No updates are shown (they are shown in software-
Observed result:
Updates are shown, and the user is prompted to "Restart & Update".
[Regression Potential]
The fix is to update the patch to work with architectural changes that occurred in gnome-software 3.30. The additional code stops an update function from being called and is unlikely to impact other changes. There could potentially be other changes that have been missed (this seems like a low risk).
[Original description]
Ubuntu 18.10 beta (up to date as of 12-10-2018)
Ubuntu software 3.30.2
DESCRIPTION OF BEHAVIOUR
When updates are available, Ubuntu-Software shows updates are available in the "Updates" tab.
One of the updates available shows "OS Updates"
The grey coloured heading right above the available updates, has "Requires Restart" on the left and a green button "Restart & Update".
When the green button is clicked, a popup window appears immediately showing "Restart, the system will restart automatically in 60 seconds" counting down. The restart can be cancelled or activated.
When activated (either automatically or manually) the computer restarts immediately and no software is being updated.
After logging in and starting up Ubuntu Software, the Updates tab checks and then shows the same updates being available as before.
---
The button on the Updates tab should rather offer to update all available software and only offer to restart the computer after the updates are completed.

Thank you for your bug report, could you provide the output of those commands DESKTOP
- dpkg -l | grep gnome-software
- which gnome-software
- echo $XDG_CURRENT_
could you also provide a screenshot showing the issue? The Ubuntu version of gnome-software is not supposed to list "OS updates" as you describe...
