See https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues/5434 for reference. * This kind of issue may potentially affect more tools as well. [ Test Plan ] 1. Open a terminal and run sudo apt install flatpak 2. Then run flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo 3. Run flatpak search meld The broken output may look something like: F: Failed to parse /var/lib/flatpak/appstream/flathub/x86_64/active/appstream.xml.gz file: Error on line 1960 char 29: <p> already set ' Organic Maps is a free Android & iOS offline maps app for travelers, tourists, hikers, and cyclists.

[ Other Info ] * None. Updating this should mainly help Flatpak users and should have no ill effects on any other component of the OS. * This issue was fixed upstream in appstream-glib 0.8.1 which is available in Ubuntu 22.10 and newer releases.
