Bug Description

I have found that when running gnome-software in Terminal on Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 (and other flavours) with GNOME 3.20 and 3.18 that I get the following warning:

    (gnome-software:2954): Gs-WARNING **: failed to open plugin /usr/lib/gs-plugins-9/libgs_plugin_xdg_app_reviews.so: /usr/lib/gs-plugins-9/libgs_plugin_xdg_app_reviews.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

And though I have not found the problem it causes, I thought I would report it anyway.

This message is completely harmless (in Ubuntu, since the plugin isn't used anyway), and the problem is already fixed in x-proposed.

In the latest package available (Including xenial-proposed)
gnome-software_3.20.1+git20160426.1.a976144-ubuntu-xenial-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb

Running dpkg-deb -c on it gives me a symlink to nowhere.

The issue still persists.
