I get this all the time. The system isn't that old, but isn't brand
new one.

"Command failed: Could not find details for xterm"

pkcon get-updates gave the error the first time, and then didn't
for repeated runs, so it was probably the extra delay of going to
disk that caused the problem the first time.

Thanks,
