I have uploaded a fixed package to my PPA: https://launchpad.net/~fmarier/+archive/ubuntu/ppa?field.series_filter=xenial
Here's how I fixed the problem: 1. upgrade the appstream-glib package to the one in my PPA 2. delete /var/cache/app-info/xmls/fwupd.xml 3. run `fwupdmgr refresh` as root to re-download the XML file -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1780520 Title: fwupd fails to refresh because of badly encoded data To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/appstream-glib/+bug/1780520/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
