PackageKit can’t find file in /var/cache/PackageKit/

After installing RPM Fusion repos on Fedora 28 you might be getting an error shown by update manager every few minutes in GUI.
Error will say something like this: “Error when getting information for file “/var/cache/PackageKit/28/metadata/rpmfusion-nonfree-nvidia-driver/repodata/appstream.xml.gz”: No such file or directory

Error is described here https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1580162 and seem to be caused by a repo that claims to support appdata but doesn’t actually provide it.

Error can be resolved by changing enabled_metadata=1 to enabled_metadata=0 in repo description file.
In case of above error change was made in /etc/yum.repos.d/rpmfusion-nonfree.repo and it now looks like this:

[rpmfusion-nonfree]

After the change is made run pkcon repair and then pkcon update to check for any errors.
