Bug Description
* Impact
gnome-software segfaults on i386
* Test case
Try to open a category or install a deb on an i386 cosmic instance, it should work
* Regression potential
Nothing specific to test, make sure gnome-software still works on amd64

using the live earlier today I had this issue, I re-zsync'd cosmic daily & re-wrote to thumb-drive, then re-tested - same issue.
load "software' at main menu; search for leafpad (chosen only because it's small & I know name), then clicking install - it sits awhile then software closes.
after software closes, error/warning-
"Invalid problem report - No such file or directory"
I re-loaded [gnome-]software from terminal & the output is as follows (same results on screen, search leafpad, select it then click install - software closes/abends..)

modified.
note: this has now been tested on three machines, same results (for leafpad & gedit) using same thumb-drive & daily iso. However I got the same result on yesterday's iso on dx6120 (first tested system) but didn't have time then to fully diagnose & submit - now done (on newer iso)

I booted on a QA-test installed Xubuntu 18.10 (/dev/sda2) on the dx6120, sudo apt update; sudo apt dist-upgrade; then tried gnome-software to add leafpad, gedit... same result -- see comment #12
