Warning about unknown type of icon during update-appstream hook
Hello!
Today I saw this warning during updating with `pacman -Syyu`:
[2021-12-03T21:35:47+0100] [ALPM] running '90-update-appstream-cache.hook'...
[2021-12-03T21:35:48+0100] [ALPM-SCRIPTLET]

[2021-12-03T21:35:48+0100] [ALPM-SCRIPTLET] ✔ Metadata cache was updated successfully.I have no clue what is going wrong. Any idea?
If searched around and found Nift, a website generator. And one of the files says something about skipping an icon check. I'm using Flatpak for this packages:
$ flatpak list
Name Application ID Version Branch Installation
Markets com.bitstower.Markets 0.5.3 stable system
Freedesktop Platform org.freedesktop.Platform 21.08.5 21.08 system
Mesa org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.default 21.1.8 20.08 system
Mesa org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.default 21.2.5 21.08 system
Intel org.freedesktop.Platform.VAAPI.Intel 20.08 system
Intel org.freedesktop.Platform.VAAPI.Intel 21.08 system
openh264 org.freedesktop.Platform.openh264 2.1.0 2.0 system
GNOME Application Platform version 40 org.gnome.Platform 40 system
Signal Desktop org.signal.Signal 5.25.0 stable systemI wonder if one of these includes something from Nift?
Thank you

Weird 
Maybe I report it to Flatpak upstream?

Re: Warning about unknown type of icon during update-appstream hook
Flathub issue: https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues/4642
Upstream issue: https://github.com/nifty-site-manager/n … k/issues/1
Seem to be caused by invalid metadata within one Flatpak and it doesn't matter if you've installed it or not.
