I thought of using 'pkcon refresh' or 'apt-get update', but there would be no feedback to the user (in a graphical way, if you know what I mean). I'm thinking on maybe programming a small app only in charge of refreshing the package list that would only be invoked in this case. Best regards, D.H.

No, but you can use the command line: pkcon refresh Is there any reason you want to manually refresh the cache?
