Problem executing scripts 50appstream

[Matthieu Baerts]

Hello,

When trying to upgrade my system I had this error:

    E: Problem executing scripts APT::Update::Post-Invoke-Success 'if /usr/bin/test -w /var/cache/app-info -a -e /usr/bin/appstreamcli; then appstreamcli refresh > /dev/null; fi'

I temporary fixed this error by doing this change:

    --- /tmp/50appstream 2016-08-16 09:44:01.377654705 +0200
    +++ /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50appstream 2016-08-16 09:36:56.514716939 +0200

Here is what I had today:

    $ sudo appstreamcli refresh
    AppStream data pool was loaded, but some metadata was ignored due to errors.

It seems the bug is fixed when installing appstream_0.9.8-3_amd64.deb and libappstream3_0.9.8-3_amd64.deb packages.

Here is what I had today:

    appstreamcli: /build/appstream-yPrSXI/appstream-0.9.8/obj-x86_64-linux-gnu/src/ascache.pb.h :3644 : void ASCache::Url::set_type(ASCache::Url_Type): l'assertion « ::ASCache::Url_Type_IsValid(value) » a échoué.
