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. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to appstream in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1579712 Title: Refresh hangs due to strdup on non-NULL terminated string To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/appstream/+bug/1579712/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
