Research direction

No source file or test is named. Start by reproducing the behavior on Linux Mint 22.3 with Update Manager 7.1.4, then trace the kernel update and reboot-notification handling. Done means an already-installed 6.17.0-14 kernel is not shown as pending and the reboot notification reflects the actual system state.

Description

BUG

I noticed on 3 different machines:
All ran the 6.14.0-37 kernel. No update /new kernel notification.
Installed manually the next supported 6.17.0-14 kernel.
Then no reboot required notification.

After reboot the Update manager indicates a new update: the 6.17.0-14 kernel. (That kernel which was already installed)
You must run the update process to make the notification to disappear.
