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.

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 Doneyesterday at 17:53 EDT yesterday at 17:53 EDT Auto-refresh snap
"gtk-common-themes"
264 Donetoday at 03:03 EDT today at 03:04 EDT Auto-refresh snap
"lxd"

I think Naël is correct that this problem goes away when gnome-software is replaced by snap-store. Or, at least, it appears to have gone away for me when I did that. I'm a bit concerned about that, though, because the reason why I didn't get that update is because I pretty much exclusively use apt to do my updates, and apparently that's no longer sufficient to get all the updates needed on an Ubuntu system.

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 Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1861631 Title: "The AppStream system cache was updated, but some components were ignored.

[Bug 1861631] Re: "The AppStream system cache was updated, but some components were ignored. Refer to the verbose log for more information."
Please disregard my previous comment. Looking at the code, I realize that the maintainer packaged the upstream gnome-software "3.36.0" tag, not the "gnome-3-36" branch, which makes a lot more sense indeed. So even though the fix is made upstream, it is NOT YET released, and therefore not packaged for Ubuntu.

Technically, PPAs with AppStream data or other repositories with broken data can trigger this as well.

This error message is shown not to alert users, but rather make users report these issues to the distributor, as this particular issue means the distributor has a mistake in their metadata somewhere. In this case it's not Ubuntu's fault directly, but rather GNOME Software injecting invalid metadata.
