Since the last 2-3 days, gnome-software stays forever on the “looking for new updates” stage on F31. I’ve seen a couple of similar reports from late 2019, all of them suggesting that clearing its cache should fix the problem; however, this does not seem to be the case for me. Any other suggestions?
I ran it with --verbose (after killing it), and these are the last few lines it shows on the console:
12:35:20:0328 Gs running get-distro-updates with dedupe-flags=7 with refine-flags=require-size,require-version,require-setup-action,require-update-details,require-upgrade-removed,require-icon,require-runtime with interactive=True with timeout=60 on plugin=fedora-pkgdb-collections

After this, no more messages (it has been a couple of minutes already), and GUI keeps showing the “spinning” update. App is responsive, though, as I can cancel the upgrade request by clicking on the “stop” button on the upper-left corner.
EDIT: I left gnome-software trying to fetch updates for 2h straight, and it didn’t finish. I had to kill it manually.
