When running Gnome Software via the terminal, I get the following error message:

(gnome-software:6632): Gs-WARNING **: failed to open plugin /usr/lib/gs-plugins-9/libgs_plugin_xdg_app_reviews.so: /usr/lib/gs-plugins-9/libgs_plugin_xdg_app_reviews.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Gnome Software opens fine, just when loading the page for any software, it just get stuck in the loading part, and does not display anything!

I just also installed the packagekit, put the same error persist!

Just in case this is not fixable by just tweaking, and installing, I submitted a bug report:

    For me, Gnome Software doesn't even launch. – navjotjsingh Apr 24 '16 at 21:52
  • Thanks for asking, I have the same exact problem on Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit, intermittently, and when launching from terminal I get the same exact error message. I do not know what packagekit is but `apt list | grep packagekit` on my machine returns a bunch of hits so I think I have it installed. – Adam P Jun 05 '16 at 20:19
  • Also, may have found a clue. `file /usr/lib/gs-plugins-9/libgs_plugin_xdg_app_reviews.so` returns `/usr/lib/gs-plugins-9/libgs_plugin_xdg_app_reviews.so: broken symbolic link to libgs_plugin_xdg_app_reviews.so.0.0.0` – Adam P Jun 05 '16 at 20:20
  • Restarting causes the problem to go away. – Adam P Jun 07 '16 at 01:34
