can confirm that purging appstream and then rerunning apt update fixed the
issue.
version affected: appstream 0.9.4-1
@ #4 - Jacob
I had the same problem, I fixed with the following:
$ ps ax | grep appstream
find what the applications' process id is
usually about 5 numbers long
# use sudo if not root
$ kill -9 <Application Process ID>
this should bring your cpu back to normal
then:
$ sudo apt purge appstream
then clean up your system with:
$ sudo apt autoremove
if you canceled in the middle of the install and it's asking you to run 'sudo
dpkg --configure -a'
run the command but once it get stuck on appstream kill it as shown above. dpkg
will still complete after you've killed appstream. then purge appstream.
