Hi Jonathan and Dan:
> I don't think either apt nor snap auto-updates will handle this.
I don't think so either, and nor will manual snap updates ("snap
refresh" command).
My assumption is that deb-to-snap and snap-to-deb transitions are
limited to development releases. It would be very surprising to have
such transitions happen once a release is out, wouldn't it? But then
again I don't know.
Canonical's Marcus Tomlinson, who implemented the special deb-to-snap
/snap-to-deb logic in update-manager to fix bug 1868409 and bug 1872958,
could tell us more, and let us know if we now need to do more than run
apt to keep our systems up-to-date. But I'm not sure how to contact him
or his team. This bug, or Launchpad in general, don't seem like the
right place, as it's not a bug. Perhaps a mailing list (which one?), the
Freenode IRC network (which channel?), Ubuntu Discourse or Ask Ubuntu
are better places for this question.

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.
