That just stumps me. How can Vim possibly be an update requiring a
system reboot?
All package updates are scheduled for offline installation. There's no
safe way to update packages at runtime, and I've written a lot about
this in the past.
So, is there a problem in the dependencies lists of the packages, or
is
it a bug in the Gnome updater app?
No bug. If you want safe runtime updates you need to look at either
flatpak or snap. Flatpak updates can be installed "live" safely in all
situations.
