There are instances of fwupd being unable to run updates on certain devices on Ubuntu 16.04. due to a "&" in metadata. [Test Case] * Try to perform an update on a 8bitdo affected device. [Regression Potential] * Regressions would occur in metadata processing where the fwupd daemon wouldn't be able to process it. [Other Info] This was discussed here: https://github.com/hughsie/fwupd/issues/565#issuecomment-402534337 This has been fixed in appstream-glib to prevent & in the metadata.
