As per the documentation [1] the types returned by GetUpdates() should describe the severity of the update, like "security" or "enhancement". This seems to (by and large) work on CentOS 7 with yum: # pkcon get-updates [...] Normal tzdata-2017b-1.el7.noarch (updates) Timezone data However, on Fedora 25 and 26, the type is always "Available": Available tzdata-2017b-1.fc25.noarch (updates) Timezone data Available weechat-1.7.1-1.fc25.x86_64 (updates) Portable, fast, light and extensible IRC client In this cases, tzdata is a normal update and weechat is a security update. " sudo dnf updateinfo info" does have the correct types, so the information is available in general: =============================================================================== tzdata-2017b-1.fc25 =============================================================================== Update ID : FEDORA-2017-24b0b27b9f Type : enhancement =============================================================================== weechat-1.7.1-1.fc25 =============================================================================== Update ID : FEDORA-2017-20dd9f26cf Type : security [...] This is with PackageKit-1.1.5-1.fc25.x86_64.

We moved the upstream bugtracker to GitHub a long time ago. If this issue still affects you please re-create the issue here: https://github.com/hughsie/PackageKit/issues Sorry for the impersonal message, and fingers crossed your issue no longer happens. Thanks.
Still applies to current versions, I filed it as https://github.com/hughsie/PackageKit/issues/268
