I am still getting this error after running sudo apt update
I m running fully upgraded Ubuntu 16.04.1 - here's appstream info apt-cache policy appstream appstream: Installed: 0.9.4-1ubuntu1 Candidate: 0.9.4-1ubuntu1 Version table: 0.10.1-1~ubuntu16.04.1 100 100 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-backports/main amd64 Packages *** 0.9.4-1ubuntu1 500 500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-updates/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 0.9.4-1 500 500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/main amd64 Packages As you can see I have 0.9.4-1ubuntu1 instead of 0.9.4-1ubuntu2 [that Dan Mick (dmick-m) has]. Running: sudo apt install appstream Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done appstream is already the newest version (0.9.4-1ubuntu1). appstream set to manually installed. Should I just wait - or is there something else I need to do? On a side note, because I usually run a custom command: alias maintain='set -x; sudo apt update; sudo apt upgrade; sudo apt autoremove; sudo apt autoclean; set +x' the error goes away on a subsequent sudo apt update (that I run to reproduce the error) until some time passes and then it reappears. I think I read somewhere this has to do with the sudo apt upgrade running but I 'm not sure. Hope that info helps. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1644498 Title: apt-get update returns "AppStream cache update completed, but some metadata was ignored due to errors." periodically To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/appstream/+bug/1644498/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
