I don't think this should matter: I have the appstream file installed on disk
(urw-base35-fonts-20170801-4.fc27.noarch has it, and I check that the file
is indeed present).

And anyway, I upgraded to appstream-data-28-4.fc28 and restarted gnome-software
and there is no difference. So it seems that gnome-software for some reason
does not like that appstream file.

Too bad there's still no obvious way to diagnose this :[
