Per discussion upstream there is a commit needed for fwupd as well to
make it not abort on the bad data.  So the appstream-glib tasks should
get a verification-done tag and flow through, but we also need to SRU
fwupd with this commit:
https://github.com/hughsie/fwupd/commit/fe1c4de5a4b178cae3e4e9325ea84ff85c4b1be3

** Also affects: fwupd (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  There are instances of fwupd being unable to run updates on certain
  devices on Ubuntu 16.04. due to a "&" in metadata.

  [Test Case]

   * Try to perform an update on a 8bitdo affected device.

  [Regression Potential]

   * Regressions would occur in metadata processing where the fwupd
  daemon wouldn't be able to process it.

  [Other Info]
   
  This was discussed here:
  https://github.com/hughsie/fwupd/issues/565#issuecomment-402534337

  This has been fixed in appstream-glib to prevent & in the metadata.  This fix is already in 18.04 and just needs to be backported to 16.04.
