Bug#827723: gnome-software: always crashes on Downloading updates

[Ognyan Kulev]

Package: gnome-software
Version: 3.20.2-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

On two Debian testing systems, I have run "apt update" and then when I try to refresh update info/download updates, gnome-software crashes. This was working fine until like one-two weeks ago. Perhaps some dependancy is making problems but all I got from running gnome-software in terminal is SIGSEGV message.

Best regards,
Ognyan Kulev
