2023-06-08 15:13:41 Jeremy Bícha description [ Impact ] * Currently, any application that is using modern AppStream metadata containing <em>/<code> tags in their description, and that is still using the deprecated appstream-glib will fail to parse this data. * Unfortunately, this affects some high-visibility applications now, like Flatpak, which are unable to perform proper searches. See https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues/5434 for reference. * This kind of issue may potentially affect more tools as well. [ Test Plan ] * Run "flatpak search firefox" - Observe the failure. * Update to the patched version * Run "flatpak search firefox" again, it should work now. [ Where problems could occur ] * The reverse-dependencies for appstream-glib in Ubuntu Jammy are: flatpak-tests unity libmalcontent-ui-0-0 libappstream-glib-dev gir1.2-appstreamglib-1.0 appstream-util flatpak * Flatpak should continue to work, and there should be no new errors in GNOME/Unity. [ Other Info ] * None. Updating this should mainly help Flatpak users and should have no ill effects on any other component of the OS.
