Works well for me (0.5.13-1ubuntu2). Thanks for getting this done. I assume it can go into -updates now. ** Tags removed: verification-needed ** Tags added: verification-done -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to

The simplest workaround seems to be to use Ctrl-C when apt update hangs at the end. It's already done most of the work, and this just aborts the running of appstreamcli at the end. You can then go ahead and update any binary packages built from the appstream source package (ie any of appstream
