Bug#803418: gnome-software: Crashes when trying to install an application

[Marcus Lundblad]

Package: gnome-software
Version: 3.18.2-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

gnome-software crashes when trying to install or remove an application.
I had the experimental appdata installed (manually extracted from
appstream.debian.org).
But also on a machine without this it crashes when trying to remove an
already installed application.

I didn't find a -dbg package, so for now I'm appending a "raw" backtrace
including GLib warning messages preceeding the crash.
