This likely won't break fwupd, but it's a bug regardless of that - the firmware components won't be in the cache because of this, which is really bad.
The actual cause is a too strict check on installation candidates, which we do before considering the component as valid. I am inclined to remove that check alltogether, and have software centers do that check instead.
This would also allow us to load metainfo files into the pool and have software centers resolve them to packages using PackageKit (this would be a prerequisite for fixing #3 )

Crap, this actually does break things severely - not the fwupd stuff, but if things are loaded in the wrong order, this will severely break the components pool itself, due to GNOME Software placing invalid metadata in /usr/share/app-info/xmls/org.gnome.Software.xml.gz
now. All stuff mentioned in there will be ignored if this gets loaded prior to the valid data.
I will fix this next, the other changes are prerequisites for this.
Pretty bad timing so short before releasing... I will make this high-priority.

This issue should be solved now - can you please test with Git master if that is the case for you too?
These changes were way more invasive than I wanted them to be, but so far I spotted no issues and the testsuite passes.
I am really not sure if GNOME Software is doing a sane thing here with its extra metadata, I'll ask hughsie about that.
Also, I will make an AppStream release this week, or next Monday (next Monday would be a bit more likely atm, I want some more testing of the changes).
