Bug#796066: gnome-software reboots before performing the "update before shutdown" action

[Anders Andersson]

Package: gnome-software
Version: 3.16.5-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

When I was about to shutdown my desktop computer for the night, I
noticed a new checkbox, which would update the system before shutting
down. After selecting that and continuing, the system rebooted instead
of performing the updates. Because my computer is encrypted, I then had
to wait for the complete shutdown and then the BIOS boot, and the
updates started after entering my password. Then the computer shut down.

This makes the feature more or less pointless for people with full disk
encryption, in my opinion, since I assume the point is to be able to
select that option and leave the computer to do a potentially long
upgrade and then shut down without any further user inputs. At least
that is how it works in Windows (or at least used to, back in the days).

Since I know that the system can be updated without the reboot, I assume
it is a bug of sorts.
