[Bug 1829813] Re: fwupdmgr refresh shows "Mismatched XML" error in 16.04 Ubuntu

[Mario Limonciello]

That message is coming from appstream-glib, somewhere around here:
https://github.com/hughsie/appstream-
glib/blob/843caabdeca6ae15f400f38536bc666340c30465/libappstream-glib/as-
store.c#L2329

I would recommend to start out with trying a newer appstream-glib to see
if that helps.
