I sometimes use gnome-software to check for updates on Debian. My repositories are Debian Stable, Flathub and a few others each dedicated to a single program. When I do sudo apt-get update on Terminal my system is able to reach all repositories managed by it without issues and I can sudo apt-get upgrade just fine. However when I go to gnome-software, move to the Updates tab and click Refresh, I get the following error time to time:

Unable to get list of updates: Failed to update metadadta for lvfs: checksum failure: failed to verify data, expected [HASH]

Is this something to worry about?

This is nothing to worry about. LVFS updates provide firmware upgrades; a checksum error there won’t affect any of your software upgrades (those you get through apt-get).

If necessary you can force a refresh by running

sudo fwupdmgr --force refresh
