It's really hard to reproduce, likely depends on the individual machine.

In theory, this should trigger the bug:

* Add the Debian Sid sources to /etc/apt/sources.list (deb ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/ stretch main)
* Disable Ubuntu main/universe in sources.list (to prevent ID collisions from shadowing the bug)
* Run "sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/*Components*" to ensure the caches are clean
* Run "sudo apt update"
* Observe crash
* Run "sudo appstreamcli refresh --force --verbose"
* Observe crash (if it didn't happen already)
* Reset everything back to the previous state

It sometimes works (as in: you see the crash), many times it doesn't work... Yeah, it's that kind of bug :-/ The users seem to be much better at triggering it than I am :-D
