Snaps are updated ("refreshed" in snap terms) automatically by snapd,
independent of the other update mechanisms for the system. If you run
`snap changes` after a system (with snaps installed, of course) has been
up for a few hours, you should see entries like:
ID Status Spawn Ready Summary
263 Done yesterday at 17:53 EDT yesterday at 17:53 EDT Auto-refresh snap
"gtk-common-themes"
264 Done today at 03:03 EDT today at 03:04 EDT Auto-refresh snap

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.
