DNF shows updates, GNOME Software doesn't

Since upgrading to Fedora 42 from 41, I haven’t seen updates show up in GNOME Software, other than app updates.

This morning, I checked with dnf update, and found that there are 393 packages to update. Is there some way to relink GNOME Software?

I haven’t used GNOME Software for updates in a while, but I had this command around for refreshing it (not sure if it re-links or affects updates vs dnf):

pkcon -c '1' refresh && pkcon update

Okay, I ran the command and found that apparently VirtualBox was blocking the update. The repo couldn’t be found, maybe because the repo needs to be different for the 42 release. I removed VirtualBox and that repo, and now I’m seeing updates in GNOME Software. Thanks for the tip!
