That does seem to be the issue.
I created an F29 VM. When I booted I logged in and found the process
/usr/sbin/abrtd -d -s running.
I killed it and tried to do an update with the gnome-software tool
and got the same result as you did.
What is the output of
systemctl --no-pager -l status abrtd
It is active and running, but that of course is after a normal boot up.
Should ABRT also be running in the special boot process when Gnome
Software tries to update the software packages?
Cheers
