Description Michael Catanzaro 2014-11-20 02:21:26 UTC 
Several times now, when downloading updates with Software, I've seen Software transition from downloading updates to "looking for new updates," which does not make any sense -- when I check for updates, Software should determine if there are new updates and then start downloading them, not the other way around.

But this one's not fixed, I saw this in 3.18.3 today the first time I tested (simply by hitting the Refresh button). The state change was something like:

Checking for updates -> downloading new updates -> looking for new updates -> downloading new updates

I think that is what happened, though I am not completely sure as it went by pretty fast.

I am also confused by the distinction between "checking for updates" and "looking for updates".
