@nader-f: You're probably using an out-of-date ISO for your VM. This
issue was fixed in 16.04 a long time ago. Be sure to use the 16.04.1 ISO
and not the original 16.04 ISO in the future. The [change summary for
16.04.1][1] specifically mentions this bug as having been fixed.

I had the same problem in a fresh copy of Ubuntu 16.04 running as a
VMWare Guest.
I followed the instructions as #24. Everything works now. Thanks a lot
for the instructions.

I got this when I tried to update today. This fixed it for me:
sudo pkill appstreamcli
sudo rm /usr/bin/appstreamcli

it seems to correlate with a system hard reset, maybe that system hard

The big issue here is that fresh installs all hang due to this error.
How do we get past that? Would an updated installation package be issued
by Canonical to fix this?

Disabling the xenial-backports solves the issue for me. Take note to not
reload the package list when the software asks you to, as it

For some reason Kubuntu users seems able to run 'Update Manager' without

I'm running Ubuntu Gnome and the user experience is horrible with this
bug when using the UI: "Software Updater" has "X" and "Stop" buttons:
"Stop" button stays gray (inactive) during the update (what is the point
of having gray Stop buttons?). It is even worse if the user (such as me)

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
