Public bug reported: I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04 without being connected to the internet because when connected to the internet the install would lock up at the point that ubuntu was "Retrieving 56 of 56".
Installation (without internet) was successful, then I connected to the internet and tried to update: sudo apt-get update The update-process seemed to be stuck, so I discovered that the command appstreamcli was at 100% processor utilization indefinitely. When I kill that process the update fails. This is clearly a bug, but hopefully someone can suggest a work-around until it is fixed.
