Public bug reported:
I've got current version of gnome-software installed
(3.19.92~git20160310.0c17ea0-0ubuntu1) but rebuilt with firmware
support. No source changes, just build with libfwupd-dev in
environment.
When I double click a .CAB firmware package I get an error about dpkg-
dev output format being incorrect. This is a bit odd since .CAB is only
supposed to be handled by the fwupd plugin IIRC.
Anyhow, I run gnome-software with --verbose and get this result:
<SNIP>

As I can tell this stuff comes from apt-plugin.patch, so it's mistakenly
processing .CAB files in addition to .DEB files.
