[packagekit] gpk-update-icon reporting available updates after they've already been applied

This keeps happening to me on Fedora Rawhide: PackageKit checks for
updates, gpk-update-icon pops up the sun icon, I click on it and view
the list of updates. I apply all the available updates and the sun icon
disappears. I've set PackageKit to check for updates hourly and after an
hour the sun icon pops up again, saying that I have the same number of
updates available as I just applied an hour ago. I try to update, but
the update viewer says there actually are no updates available. Pretty
much the same problem was reported here[1].

I talked about this with Richard on IRC and he asked me to do pkcon
get-updates if this happens again. So that's what I did today, pkcon
reported no updates. It seems like this is a problem with the update
icon and not with the backend. Then I also did gpk-update-icon
--verbose, but as soon as I ran that command, the sun icon disappeared.
This is quite hard to debug, because it seems like if you restart
gpk-update-icon, you don't hit this bug.

Anyway, here's the output of gpk-update-icon --verbose, in case it
helps.
