What does `pkcon get-updates` when run in a terminal window say?

I installed kernel 5.14.1 now, and after booting into it, this is what I get:

Getting updates               [=========================]         
Loading cache                 [=========================]         
Finished                      [=========================]

It seems to be fixed now.  I had a legitimate update to opera-stable that also wanted to remove linux-headers-5.18.6-051806-generic:amd64 (5.18.6-051806.202206221336).  After allowing both and rebooting from  that, the icon is no longer in the panel.  The linux-header may have been gumming up the works if it needed to be uninstalled but, for some reason, wasn't showing up in Discover Update.

Seems like it. It would appear this was an issue in PackageKit itself, for handing this odd situation oddly. If you'd like to follow up, or if it happens again I'd encourage you to file a bug report at https://github.com/PackageKit/PackageKit/issues. Thanks!
