Can you please provide a list of installed packages? Something seems to be providing a mime type that might be breaking fwupd. We need to figure out what it is.

If you remove gwyddion and gwyddion-common can you see if that helps?

This to me is either a bug in libxmlb or in gwyddion.

- If it's in libxmlb it's that it's not accepting formats with wrong mimetypes. This actually might be improved in a newer libxmlb, the 0.2.1 release has this specifically: https://github.com/hughsie/libxmlb/commit/3101baad938d63f26cda7e3296875adcde282f60

- If it's in gwyddion it's too liberal of a mime type match.

The newer libxmlb is not yet packaged however.

This can still be reproduced with more recent libxmlb (testted with 0.3.6 on Gentoo).

I have reported the issue to Gwyddion upstream with a proposed patch to remove the broad matching:
https://sourceforge.net/p/gwyddion/mailman/gwyddion-devel/thread/9e1f6694-c39b-6131-796b-667f6e25f7e9%40googlemail.com/#msg37595049
and the patch was merged in:
https://sourceforge.net/p/gwyddion/code/24576/

In addition, I've opened a Debian Bug reporting the issue and the patch:
