Hello all,

This didn't happen to me with the last version  (F28)  but I didn't install Workstation, I installed KDE Spin.  So now my question is:  Does this affect to all Fedoras, including Spins and Labs, or is it an issue that for some reason affects Workstation only?

Kind regards.

It affects anyone who has installed the fedora-workstation-repos package, which is installed by default only on Fedora Workstation (as it really doesn’t do anything useful except in the context of GNOME Software).

If there was a post-release update to the fedora-workstation-repos
package in F28, it's entirely possible, yes. It would have had the
same issue.
