Bug ID: 479609
Summary: Discover lists all apt/deb packages under one "System
upgrade" section, which doesn't prompt for sudo
password and requires a system reboot.
Classification: Applications
Product: Discover
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other

An example of what Discover might look like with any package. Chrome, Firefox,
Linux headers, you name it.
SUMMARY
***
About a month ago, Discover started listing all non-flatpak/snap updates under
one umbrella "package" called "System upgrade." No matter the packages found
therein, be they core libraries or simple browsers, they would be placed here.
I can update all of these packages *without* providing a password, whereas
before (and with nala) it prompts me for sudo. After installing these updates,
the update screen in Discover changes to one asking me to "reboot my system,"
and I cannot perform any more updates until I've done so (be they packages,
flatpaks, etc).
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Discover
2. Go to "updates" when there are package updates available
OBSERVED RESULT
There is a single "System upgrade" package that contains any and all available
updates to any and all packages in my system. Selecting it to be updated does
so without a password, then locks my Discover updates section until I've
restarted my system.
EXPECTED RESULT
All packages are labeled individually, and can be *updated* individually.
Updating any of said packages prompts me for a password. When the update is
complete, Discover continues with business as usual.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Kubuntu 22.04.3 LTS
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.7
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.92.0
Qt Version: 5.15.3
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I've been told I'm running an unsupported Plasma version by Nate Graham (which
is unfortunate, as I thought this was an LTS release of Kubuntu - Fedora, here
I come!), so I'm aware this may be a bug that won't get "fixed," per se.
However, I'm hoping this is a mistake on *my* part, and that I can be
redirected to a resource that will tell me how to get my Plasma Discover back
in working order.
