SUMMARY
While adding a new VPN (fortisslvpn) under Networks, I got an error `Could not open appstream:network-manager-fortisslvpn because it was not found in any available software repositories`


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go into Networks or System Settings  > Networks > Connections
2. Click the + (add new connection)
3. Scroll until you see `Fortinet SSLVPN`
4. Click create and add a vpn config file (feel free to use a dummy while testing)
5. Dolphin should give a pop-up saying that `fortisslvpn` is not installed and you should click on it to install dependencies for the connection set-up.
6. Discover will give an error saying that no repository was found.

OBSERVED RESULT

Discover will fail to load the correct package for `fortisslvpn` 


EXPECTED RESULT

It should be possible to succesfully add a FortiClient VPN connection by following these steps and to connect afterwards.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

I was able to install with `apt install  network-manager-fortisslvpn`

This seems to be an Ubuntu problem. They don't seem to include the appstream metadata for network-manager-fortisslvpn (correctly).

"appstreamcli search network-manager-fortisslvpn" should find the component, but doesn't on Ubuntu. It works fine for me on Fedora and OpenSUSE
