Bug#914721: gnome-software: Pending updates list shows wrong firmware package

[Ben Hutchings]

Package: gnome-software
Version: 3.22.5-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Today GNOME Software reports that there are three updates available:
"OS Updates", "Binary firmware for TI Connectivity wifi and BT/FM/GPS
adapters" and "Chromium Web Browser".

The middle item's description matches that of firmware-ti-connectivity, 
which isn't installed and never has been - nor will it be installed as
a dependency of another package.

However, firmware-iwlwifi (built from the same source package) is
installed and does have an update available.  It is apparently *not*
included under "OS Updates" (not in the list that appears when I click
on that item).

gpk-update-viewer correctly shows pending updates for firmware-iwlwifi
and not firmware-ti-connectivity.  So this doesn't seem to be a problem
with PackageKit in general.

Ben.
