It's not really useful assigning the bug to Robert without knowing what went wrong, because there's no information to go on for fixing it.

Hopefully this is enough to go on. ** Attachment added: "1716579-bt.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-software/+bug/1716579/+attachment/4948607/+files/1716579-bt.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-software in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1716579 Title: gnome-software uses a very high cpu amount Status in gnome-software package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The room was silent, when the fan of my laptop suddenly started making noise.
