                          I'm wondering if Packagekit's command

    pkcon refresh

also pulls in information about updateable packages from Debian mirrors - like:

    apt update

does - or if it just updates Packagekit's internal cache of avaible updates.

The man page just says

> Refresh the cached information about avaible updates.
