Description Adam Williamson 2016-11-09 20:45:17 UTC 
I just tested graphical upgrade from Fedora 24 to Fedora 25. It basically worked fine, but after the upgrade, there was a 'review installed updates' notification, and when I clicked it, the list of 'Installed Updates' I got is rather odd:

AlternateTab
Applications Menu
Background Logo
Cantarell
English
Gstreamer Multimedia Codecs
Gstreamer Multimedia Codecs - Base
Gstreamer Multimedia Codecs - Extra
Launch new instance
Montserrat
Noto
Pinyin
Places Status Indicator
Symbola
Typing Booster
VL Gothic
Window List
Zhuyin

...and that's it, the entire list. Obviously far more things than that actually got upgraded. Also, for each item on the list, the claimed 'from' and 'to' versions are identical, e.g. '3.22.1-1.fc25 -> 3.22.1-1.fc25'.

I guess this should really have some kind of custom view after a system upgrade which somehow shows the source and target *distribution release* in a pleasing form, because listing every single updated component is gonna be a bit overwhelming...

I happened to notice something similar today on a production F25 system after just a normal system update, in fact. The pre-update list of updates to be applied included the catch-all 'System Updates' entry for non-GNOME-Software-metadata-y package updates, some application updates, and some 'add-on' updates...but the after-update list of 'updates that were installed' only showed the 'add-on' updates.

This seems to be happening on every update...?
Comment 3 Adam Williamson 2016-12-09 16:16:04 UTC 
Haven't looked at the list again since then...I'll try it in a bit.

> This seems to be happening on every update...?

It's happening always for me since I updated to F25. Also, the description for every update is "no update description available."
Comment 5 Michael Catanzaro 2017-01-14 16:25:15 UTC 
(IMO this issue should be prioritized; any user who ever looks at the post-update review is inevitably going to notice the version numbers are wrong.)
Comment 7 Michael Catanzaro 2017-01-14 17:31:25 UTC 
Is it possible to backport, or will we just have to live with it until F26?
Comment 8 Michael Catanzaro 2017-01-14 17:32:57 UTC 
I notice that commit is associated with bug #775884. That bug (missing descriptions) is definitely fixed for me now in F25. However, this issue with incorrect version numbers has not been resolved in F25.
Comment 9 Kalev Lember 2017-01-14 19:43:13 UTC 
Yes, that patch is already backported. Ahh, there might be a separate issue with version numbers then. I'll try to look into it.
Comment 10 Kalev Lember 2017-01-18 10:32:32 UTC 
The version numbers being the same issue should be fixed in https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-software/commit/?h=gnome-3-22&id=c8d0284ccf83abd44c7ca5ab98ead9967d956617
