Pacman upgrade - [ALPM-SCRIPTLET] (appstreamcli:4174): GLib-CRITICAL

I got some strange error messages during upgrade today. I do not recognize, if something is not working. I can reboot for example. Can you explain me, if there is something wrong (what means the error)?

I ran across the same issue this morning, not sure if it's causing any issues, but it definitely got my attention.

There is already a bug report about this.

Short version: according to the upstream bug report, you can safely ignore these errors
