Fair enough.

Not a good option, since it indicates that some metadata might be
unavailable due to parsing or quick-validation issues.

Hmm, that would probably an overkill in this particular case...

This happens if you run the tool in verbose mode (pass --verbose, e.g.
sudo appstreamcli refresh --force --verbose). Adding it to the message
by default would dump a lot of information on the users which they
likely can't do much with, because for this kind of issue, there is
generally not much the user can do except for reporting it against the
distributor or 3rd-party which provides faulty data, or wait for it to
vanish.

This should be the case... I will deploy a new metadata generator on
the server soon, which might help solving this problem.
Thanks for reporting the issue!
