Title:
appstreamcli stuck at 100% CPU when processing data from xenial
backports: Blocking any upgrades!
Status in appstream package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
With Ubuntu 16.04 LTS on several of my machines the process "appstreamcli"
gets stuck when updating package information, blocking dpkg!
This should not happen.
At the moment, this blocks any upgrade on the machine if you don't know how
to kill that process.
I ran "appstreamcli --debug --force refresh" to find that it is the
meta-data from the backports repository that causes the problem.
Workaround: Deactivate backports repository
