Yes I did. Now with the workaround in place (masking the gvfs-daemon.service service) I see the following error message: # apt-get update [...] (appstreamcli:11277): GVFS-WARNING **: Error creating proxy: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.gtk.vfs.Daemon: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.systemd1.UnitMasked: Unit gvfs-daemon.service is masked.
