It's really hard to reproduce, likely depends on the individual machine. In theory, this should trigger the bug:
* Add the Debian Sid sources to /etc/apt/sources.list (deb ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/ stretch main) * Disable Ubuntu main/universe in sources.list (to prevent ID collisions from shadowing the bug) * Run "sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/*Components*" to ensure the caches are clean * Run "sudo apt update" * Observe crash * Run "sudo appstreamcli refresh --force --verbose" * Observe crash (if it didn't happen already) * Reset everything back to the previous state It sometimes works (as in: you see the crash), many times it doesn't work... Yeah, it's that kind of bug :-/ The users seem to be much better at triggering it than I am :-D -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to appstream in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1574896 Title: appstreamcli: double free or corruption with certain metadata To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/appstream/+bug/1574896/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
