Inconsistent activities-listing, while running Software-Update

[ajay_garg]

After running software update, following three scenarios may happen :

1. Some new-activities are present, and no upgrade-activities are present.

In this case, the listing is alright.

2. Some new-activities are present, and some upgrade-activities are present.

In this case, either of the following two scenarios occur

• Activities are listed, but only the new ones; not the upgrade-ones. (See Screenshot.png).

Note: Though this screenshot might look harmless, but actually when the activities in the updater_url, and on the system, were compared, there was one activity on the updater_url, whose version was greater than the one installed on system.

• Activities are not listed at all. (See Screenshot-1.png).

In shell.log, the following stacktrace is seen:

  Traceback (most recent call last):

Cases 2 and 3 are defects.
