Description
... as indicated by qubes-dom0-update. Further, after I clicked on the Update button for Dom0, I got the message that there were no updates for Dom0. I closed the gpk-viewer window, yet this annoying icon is still being shown, urging me to update Dom0...
manager 1.2.14
core 2.0.22

But I was referring to the "updates ready" (AKA "updates pending) icon in the manager, not to the gpk-viewer icon (which, BTW, I have never seen on my system...)

So this is a separate issue: #558

- Summary changed from "Updates ready" icon is being displayed for Dom0 even though no updates are avilable to Display "updates pending" icon for Dom0 correctly.
Due to implementation of #475 the dom0 updates pending icon is currently not displayed at all. Since it doesn't differ much from being displayed all the time - the issue still remains.

gpk-update-viewer (and the packagekit as a whole) caches repository metadata, so even if yum check-update does show some packages, gpk-update-viewer can still state that there are no updates.
I'm attempting to find a workaround; it's additionally complicated by the fact that PackageKit? wants to be "smart" and refuses to run some commands while no network is available (even when manipulating *local* repository - qubes-dom0-cached).
