[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. This fix is already in 18.04 and just needs to be backported to 16.04. https://github.com/hughsie/appstream-glib/commit/6048520484101df5d33f3c852c10640e630d20cf To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/fwupd/+bug/1780442/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
