'Update" page showing the versions of the updates available, versions of currently installed packages are missing

SUMMARY
I can't reproduce this behavior consistently. Sometimes when I open Discover via updater icon in systray, the 'Update" page only shows the version of the update available, not the version of the package currently installed. See the attached screenshots please.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. click on updater icon in systray when updates are available
2. 
3. 

EXPECTED RESULT
'Update" page should always show the version of currently installed packages

Operating System: Arch Linux

Comment 2 Riccardo Robecchi 2020-04-02 14:58:00 UTC
I confirm this behaviour on KDE Neon with Plasma 5.18.4.1. I only get the new version; in order to see the old version I have to open another view (e.g. "about") and then go back to "updates".
Comment 3 Aleix Pol 2020-07-30 23:15:21 UTC
Can you still reproduce?

Maybe it's because you opened the updates page before the packages got resolved? If you get to reproduce, please try going to the homepage and back to the updates and tell us whether it shows the correct information.
Comment 4 Riccardo Robecchi 2020-08-06 09:23:34 UTC
I can still reproduce and yes, I can see the correct info if I switch to another view (e.g. "about") and then back to updates. This happens even when I click on the "view updates" button on the "updates avaialable" notification. I never see the correct info being displayed.

Discover shows the versions after to be restarted

The bug occured when I started Discover by clicking on updates notification shown a few seconds after login.

A small note for clarification: I experience this bug with files installed through the distro's package manager, so this merge request won't fix that, unfortunately.
