** Description changed:

- I have a held package, and gnome-software keeps popping up the "upgrades
- are available" notification.  Looking at it what it wants to upgrade,
- there is only the held package.  I haven't clicked 'install' to see if
- it will actually do so, but held packages should not be upgraded by
- gnome-software.
+ [Steps to Reproduce]
+ ====================
+ 1. $ sudo apt-mark hold ____
+ (substitute name of the package you want held
+ 2. GNOME Software should not notify about held package(s) as an available 
update. Maybe it shouldn't list held packages in the Updates page either.
+ 
+ GNOME Software does not actually upgrade held packages but it's
+ confusing that it looks like it's going to.
+ 
+ Update Manager shows held packages in the update list but they are
+ unchecked (and unable to be checked).
