Public bug reported:

`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.
