Folks, Updates had been working fine for me until today (5/19/2016). I updated my machines last night(all 11 of them) and now all are experiencing the aforementioned problem with 100% CPU usage from appstreamcli.
It appears that in my case at least that something applied last night must be triggering the problem as I have had no problems with apt update until today. I was able to "Ctrl C" out of the update command and install some updates but have to "assume" that I had gotten them all since the update command never completed. I will try and get the above fix applied to at least some of my machines tomorrow. How will users be able to apply the fix if they can't get past the apt update command hanging (other than manual intervention that is)?
