[Bug 1873713] Re: appstreamcli: symbol lookup error: appstreamcli: undefined symbol: AS_APPSTREAM_METADATA_PATHS

 

For context, it might be due to the fact that starting on Ubuntu 20.04,
the Chromium browser is packaged as a snap instead of a Debian package.

I'm running Ubuntu 20.04.1 on NVIDIA Jetson Nano Developer Kit.

$ uname -a
Linux jetson 4.9.140-tegra #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Jul 16 17:04:49 PDT 2019 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux

$ cat /etc/issue
Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS \n \l

Here's output from journalctl -xe:

-- The unit snap-chromium-1417.mount has entered the 'failed' state with result 'exit-code'.
