I'm suffering the same issue. `sudo apt purge appstream` did not save me. Now it's locked at 100% cpu when I `sudo apt install appstream`. Won't finish setting up appstream 0.9.4-1, htop says the command running is `appstream refresh-index --force`. -- 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/1583829 Title: aptitude update -> appstreamcli uses 100% cpu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/appstream/+bug/1583829/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
