Dear Maintainer,

Every time I start gnome-software, a message pops up saying "Sorry, something
went wrong". I reported the bug upstream to Gnome Bugzilla together with the
output of "gnome-software --verbose"; see
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=791185. The relevant log line seems
to be:

18:42:52:0200 Gs  failed to call gs_plugin_refresh on fwupd: The name
org.freedesktop.fwupd was not provided by any .service files

However, this appears to be a bad configuration of gnome-software, and hence it
was suggested I report this to the Debian maintainers of gnome-software
instead.

I haven't done anything non-standard with gnome-software except to install the
"gnome-software-plugin-flatpak" plugin.

Have a nice day,

Koen
