Public bug reported:
The following message, or something like it, is output when an update to
appstream is done on 19.10:
dpkg: error: version '/usr/share/app-info/yaml /usr/share/app-info/icons' has ba
d syntax: version string has embedded spaces
This appears to be caused by this line in the appstream.postinst:
if dpkg --compare-versions "$2" ge-nl "0.12.8"; then
This gets called when the registered triggers are activated:
interest-noawait /usr/share/app-info/icons
interest-noawait /usr/share/app-info/yaml
interest-noawait /usr/share/app-info/xml
I recommend checking in the postinst if we are handling a trigger and
avoiding the dpkg version comparison
