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-cache > /dev/null; fi', E:Sub-process returned an error code
The above error is in the small box. The information below is in the terminal window that I thought might give clues on what happened on disto upgrade to 18.10 from command line.

I ran sudo apt-get autoclean, and other command line clean up tools and
tried again.
I was able to upgrade then. Not sure why just running some cleaning
programs worked but did and now I have 18.10 running.
Thank you
You can marked this solved.
