Public bug reported: I have a held package, and gnome-software keeps popping up the "upgrades are available" notification. Looking at it what it wants to upgrade, there is only the held package. I haven't clicked 'install' to see if it will actually do so, but held packages should not be upgraded by gnome-software.
