Currently the method installs updates instead of merely checking for them (or it would do, if it actually worked). This is not just surprising considering the method name, the whole idea of live updates is problematic and will not work properly more often than not: - imports are cached, so any local modules will stay at their original version until a shell restart - GTypes cannot be unregistered So change the method to only download available updates, and set the extensions' hasUpdate state accordingly. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/945
