Bug Description

What I did:
1. Opened the muon preferences.
2. Selected "Show notifications for available updates"
3. Clicked on "Ok"
4. Opened the muon preferences again.

Expected behaviour:
The option is still selected.

Observed behaviour:
The option is not selected.

When I select both options and reopen the dialog the second one ("Show the number of available updates") is still selected but deactivated.

Always reproducible.

I am experiencing the same bug on a fresh install of Kubuntu 20.10 (Polish language version).

1. Launch Muon from the KDE "start menu".
2. Open "Settings -> Configure Muon Package Manager...".
3. Uncheck "Treat recommended packages as dependencies".
4. Click "OK".
5. Reopen "Settings -> Configure Muon Package Manager...".

Expected result:
The "Treat recommended packages as dependencies" option is unchecked.
Actual result:
The "Treat recommended packages as dependencies" option is checked.

More details to comment #3 above:

This might be a user rights issue. Muon apparently reads the "Treat recommended packages as dependencies" setting from APT config files in /etc/apt. (see "man apt.conf"). But since I was launching Muon as a non-root user, it was obviously not able to update settings in /etc/apt.

If I create an /etc/apt.apt.conf file with the following contents:

APT::Install-Recommends "false";

and restart Muon, then the "Treat recommended packages as dependencies" becomes unchecked. (Though checking/unchecking of this option is again not saved.)
