Public bug reported:
Just ran `sudo apt-get update`, which is hanging indefinitely after the
downloads complete, the last CLI output from which is:
Fetched 733 kB in 1s (399 kB/s)
Looking at `top` suggests `appstreamcli` is the culprit as it's pegged
at near 100% CPU usage:
100 0.1 18:29.02 appstreamcli
If I kill the hung `sudo apt-get update` process with Control+C, the
`appstreamcli` process goes away.
Retrying `sudo apt-get update` has the same result.
On a whim I also tried `sudo apt update`, but it seems to have the same
problem. It hangs indefinitely and running it results in an
`appstreamcli` process consuming 100% CPU.
