[Impact]
errors.ubuntu.com [1] is showing a high crash rate in GNOME Software. This appears to be due to apt updates occuring outside of GNOME Software and triggering access of a NULL pointer inside appstream-glib. Upstream fixed this crash by correctly handling the NULL pointer in appstream-glib 0.7.0. I have not been able to locally reproduce the issue.
[Test Case]
1. Run GNOME Software
Expected result:
This crash doesn't show in errors.ubuntu.com.
Observed result:
This crash shows in errors.ubuntu.com.
[Regression Potential]
Low, the fix is a simple check for a NULL value. It is already running this way in 17.10 (no significant errors showing there).
