Weird, I wonder what happened that many people are experiencing this now...
Removing `/usr/bin/appstreamcli` is fine if you install the fixed package afterwards.

To install this manually, please do (for amd64, adjust URLs for other architectures):

```
cd /tmp && mkdir asfix
cd asfix
wget https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/appstream_0.9.4-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb
wget https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/libappstream3_0.9.4-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
```

This should solve the issue. Please report back if this is fixed, or if you are still experiencing issues!
