Public bug reported:
Every morning about ~30mins after powering on my focal machine I get
(unprompted) a gnome-shell policykit authorisation popup saying
'authentication is required to install software' - I haven't yet
actually authorised it since I wasn't sure what was causing it, however
I notice that if I cancel the authorisation then I see a bunch of
notifications from gnome-software about updates having been successfully
installed (even though I presume it hasn't been since I never authorised
it).
Is gnome-software fighting snapd to refresh snaps?
