In comment #30 I took the procedure from comment #24 and added two commands to rename appstream's apt config file, but those commands aren't necessary because they have no effect when appstream is installed via the `dpkg` command.

The appstream package's postinst file explicitly calls `appstreamcli refresh-index --force`, so reported in comment #17, the hanging problem is probably still present even when `dpkg` is used to upgrade the appstream packages instead of apt. In that case, upgrading the libappstream3 package *before* the appstream package may avoid the hanging.
