Bug Description

Binary package hint: packagekit-gnome

When updates that require uninstalling a package are available, gpk-update-viewer doesn't show them in the list of available updates. (Previously, it would show non-installable updates with a "lock" icon and just didn't let them get selected.)

Meanwhile, it still says "There are 6 updates available" even when only 3 of those are actually listed below. That's a little confusing.

I can confirm that gpk-update-viewer shows updates are available on the window title even if none appear on the window list.
In my case synaptic correctly shows chromium-browser as the available update but gpk-update-viewer will not.
