Public bug reported:

I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 x64 and the installed version of gnome-software
is 3.20.1

  * I install a desktop application from a .deb package. I tried several 
methods (apt install, dpkg -i, xdg-open then click on install button).
  * After the installation, I control that the application is visible from the 
system:
    * The application appears correctly in the application list in Unity Dash
    * The application appears in the "Open With" menu list in Nautilus (because 
of registered mime types)
    * The package name of the application can be used as an argument of apt 
commands (apt show, apt remove...) and dpkg (dpkg -l, dpkg -L...)
  * I start gnome-software.
  * I click on the "installed" tab to get the list of installed applications.

expected result: the freshly installed application is in the list
actual result: the freshly installed application is not in the list.

If I reboot my computer and start gnome-software, the installed
application appears in the list.

It looks like there is some kind of cache that is not refreshed at the
right moment.
