I'm not an expert on these things or even very knowledgeable about Linux in general, but based on my own personal experience that does seem to be the case. All of these bugs(including the one you linked):
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-software/+bug/1577253 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-software/+bug/1572155 seem to be caused by the same issue. Doing a system restart fixes every single one of them(I have experienced all of them). Also noticed that this issue can also cause system updates to be offered even though they where already installed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1575426 Title: Gnome Software doesn't update after refreshing system repositories To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-software/+bug/1575426/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
