Arch Linux

Description:

gnome-software crashes with what appears to be an assertion error related to appstream data. I suspect the source of the bug is in archlinux-appstream-data but gnome-software should handle this correctly.

Installed software:
community/gnome-software 3.26.2-1 [installed]
GNOME Software Tools
community/fwupd 1.0.1-1 [installed]
A simple daemon to allow session software to update firmware
community/fwupdate 9-3 [installed]
Tools for using the ESRT and UpdateCapsule() to apply firmware updates
extra/appstream-glib 0.7.4-1 [installed]
Objects and methods for reading and writing AppStream metadata
extra/archlinux-appstream-data 20171017-1 [installed]
Arch Linux application database for AppStream-based software centers

Steps to reproduce:
* Launch gnome-software

The following lines are particularly suspicious from the crash log:
fwupd_release_get_appstream_id: assertion 'FWUPD_IS_RELEASE (release)' failed
as_utils_unique_id_build: assertion 'id != NULL' failed
gs_plugin_cache_lookup: assertion 'key != NULL' failed

The get_appstream_id related error is probably the cullprit, hence my suspicion the trigger for this is archlinux-appstream-appdata. The two following assertion errors would be problems in gnome-software upstream.
