Thanks gumbeto for the verification! For the future: it is also
important for the verification to include package version numbers of
what -proposed packages have been tested. Otherwise yes, waiting with
performing the validation until all required packages are in -proposed
is a good choice.

@Mario et all, as a simple user I am not very familiar with bug tracking
procedures for Ubuntu, but I understood the verification tag to be
associated with the bug, not a package. It did not make much sense to me
to mark the bug verified until there was a full fix. I suppose you can't
be sure somet

Hello Mario, or anyone else affected,
Accepted fwupd into xenial-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fwupd/0.8.3-0ubuntu4
in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.
Please help us by testing this new package. See
https://wiki.u
Sure, will try to do that tomorrow.

@Robert
I've uploaded a fwupd package with the designated above fix.

Watch this bug for when an archive admin releases the fix and you can try it
out by putting in some corrupted data back into the cache again (you can
manually modify it to "corrupt" it).

Per discussion upstream there is a commit needed for fwupd as well to
make it not abort on the bad data. So the appstream-glib tasks should
get a verification-done tag and flow through, but we also need to SRU
fwupd with this commit:

Hello, I agree this is very helpful already, but it seems it is still
not a full fix for this issue yet. There is no other reason for removing
and refreshing the cache than this bug, so I think opening a new one
would only confuse things.

gumbeto - I'd recommend opening a new bug about the issue for clients
with the bad cache. This fix is still useful as it will stop new users
hitting the problem. I've asked on
https://github.com/hughsie/fwupd/issues/565 if upstream has a solution
for that issue.
If you open a new bug please mark t
(I am not adding the verification-done tag as updating the package
without removing the cache was not enough to fix the issue)

Hello,
The package name here is libappstream-glib8 (no package found by the

Hello Mario, or anyone else affected,
Accepted appstream-glib into xenial-proposed. The package will build now
and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/appstream-

Accepted since the fix will help anyone new impacted by this bug. But
what happened to the upgrade path as mentioned in comments 4 and 5?
Should the cache be deleted in postinst if upgrading up to a fixed
version?
Please add this to Regression Potential and test for this during SRU
verification.
Sorry it should say "fwupd.xml". Weird that you can't edit recent
comments at Launchpad, maybe Ubuntu should consider switching to GitLab
;)

I want to make sure it's clear this is a high-impact regression. Right
now I'm unable to use Software at all because of this, Software is empty
and says "no software data found". Software is useless. Manually editing
fwpd.xml or removing it and refreshing appstream restores functionality.

It needs to go through the SRU process
(https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates) which can take a few
weeks.

I was still getting the error messages after upgrading the package
because the cached file still had the unescaped ampersand in it.
It seems like `fwupdmgr refresh` doesn't re-generate the file if it
hasn't changed on the server.

Is the step to delete old metadata actually required? That will complicate
the SRU if so..
