For the past few days, there have been several notifications on my desktop that refuse to terminate. (By this I mean that the little circle with the number of notifications has been sitting there with a non-zero number.)
Right now, as I write this, the number of notifications is "10". Five of these are "Getting updates", and the other five are "Refreshing package cache". I associate these sorts of message with "dpkg" or "apt", but there is no process with those names running. The plasma-desktop process is using about 42% CPU, and nothing I have tried has either changed the amount of CPU being used, nor killed any of the jobs associated with the notifications. I have tried logging out and logging back in (several times), but that has no noticeable effect at all: the notifications remain, as does the CPU usage. Any suggestions as to how to get back to a situation with zero notifications and minimal CPU usage? For what it's worth, I have no idea at all what happened to cause this aberrant behaviour.
