This debdiff contains a minimal fix to resolve the noisy assertions (and potential crash) when searching for AppStream data.
It should be suitable for upload to Jammy. @tintou, sorry for hijacking the SRU report a bit, in hindsight I should probably have filed a new one. This should address the most visible issue though without any risk of introducing new problems. (It would still be nice to have a more recent AppStream in Jammy, but we can request that later) ** Summary changed: - [SRU] Update to latest bugfix release for jammy + [SRU] Update to 0.15.2-2ubuntu0.1 for jammy ** Description changed: - Appstream 0.15.6 is available since December, 2022 and comes with lots - of crash fixes + The attached debdiff contains two targeted fixes to address noisy + warning messages when AppStream is used with newer Flatpak versions. [ Impact ] - * Appstream is used by GNOME Software, KDE Discover, Flatpak, Snaps and - probably lot of other components, since the release of Jammy, a few - point releases have been made to appstream that fixes crashes and - optimizations. + * Appstream is used by GNOME Software, KDE Discover, Flatpak, Snaps and + probably lot of other components.
