Hi Jonathan and Dan: > I am not sure what you mean. There is no "snap-store" deb on my > 20.04 system, nor does "apt search snap-store" yield any results.
It's a snap application, which you'll see in the output of the "snap list" command if it is installed. It provides the Ubuntu Software application on 20.04 and replaces the "gnome-software" deb, cf https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/is-ubuntu-software-going-to-be-remove- for-snap-snap-store/14542 and bug 1868409. If I understand correctly, at this point in time, your system shouldn't have the "gnome-software" deb any longer unless you've manually installed it yourself, and it should have the "snap-store" snap instead. > Furthermore, this bug was initially reported about the output of > apticron showing up in cron job emails; as far as I know, apticron > is independent of gnome-software. This is unclear to me too, but Matthias Klumpp identified the cause of this error as lying with gnome-software metadata, and he fixed it upstream in gnome-software, cf comment 3 on this bug. Perhaps apticron runs apt-get update? > I have an up-to-date focal system and I am still seeing this. I don't see it any more. The plot thickens. You may still have the "gnome-software" deb? If yes, and you don't mind migrating to the "snap- store" snap for you Ubuntu Software application, then you could run the update-manager (the graphical application), it will take care of the transition, see bug 1868409 for details. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to appstream in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1861631 Title: "The AppStream system cache was updated, but some components were ignored. Refer to the verbose log for more information." Status in appstream package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in gnome-software package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: `apt-get update` and the nightly `apticron --cron` job are reporting: "The AppStream system cache was updated, but some components were ignored. Refer to the verbose log for more information." This is pretty much meaningless to most people who have no idea what AppStream is and what "verbose log" is being referred to. I dug around and managed to discover `appstreamcli refresh-cache --force --verbose`, whose output is attached. I don't know what the "bad" output is or how to fix it. All I know is that I hope Focal isn't going to be generating this message when it ships, because it isn't going to make sense to most people and most people won't know how to fix it and it causes annoying emails from apticron every night.
