System up-to-date showed when update fails to fetch

[sherghan]

Explain what happens

Cockpit presents the system as up-to-date, fully updated, even when there are problems in gathering update information that prevent the system from knowing if there are updates available.

User / Administrator will not get informed about the updates for this system and thus might never discover the underlying problem exists.

I discovered this condition while having problem with receiving updates via OStree. Ticket: #11588 FUTURE Cryptographic policy blocks rpm-ostree update in the fedora-infrastructure tracker.

I'm connecting from Fedora Workstation to Fedora IoT on server using the desktop version of cockpit (which interestingly does not provide version in About screen).
