Re: AppStream update metadata issue

I have the same issue and I'm Getting the same output with appstreamcli refresh-cache --force --verbose except for eclipse.desktop because I don't use Eclipse.
I'm also running Plasma.

Perhaps this upstream commit may fix this https://github.com/ximion/appstream/com … deb61f31fe

Re: AppStream update metadata issue

Anyone know what the verbose log is that the "error" message is referring to? It doesn't seem to be /var/log/pacman.log...

Incidentally, I'm also on plasma and I got the same error when I updated today.
