Update notifier somehow looses connection to PackageKit, as it seems.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Do a fresh boot of the system -> notifier works
2. Start journalctl -f -u packagekit
3.  After a few laptop lid close & suspend, then wake up from suspend, check if you still see PackageKit get-updates entries in journal; this should be once a day (default check rate); if you miss this entry for > 24h, continue to next step
4. Right click on Updater, select Refresh -> no entries in journal
5. Open a shell and issue a `pkcon refresh` -> you will see the entries in the journal
6. Again, right click on Updater, select Refresh -> you will see that now also Discover caused an entry while talking to PackageKit
7. Click on Updater -> Discover opens; click on Update > Refresh; if updates are available, they will be shown in discover, while Updater still doesn't show anything. (Maybe this happened because I did not give enough time to Updater to process the updates)

OBSERVED RESULT
Updater doesn't inform about available updates.

EXPECTED RESULT
Updater should check updates once a day (as configured) and inform about updates.
