Title:
gnome-software tries to install snap updates in the background,
causing unprompted polkit authentication for authorisation to install
packages
Status in gnome-software package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Every morning about ~30mins after powering on my focal machine I get
(unprompted) a gnome-shell policykit authorisation popup saying
'authentication is required to install software' - I haven't yet
actually authorised it since I wasn't sure what was causing it,
however I notice that if I cancel the authorisation then I see a bunch
of notifications from gnome-software about updates having been
successfully installed (even though I presume it hasn't been since I
never authorised it).
Is gnome-software fighting snapd to refresh snaps?
