I am still getting this error after running

sudo apt update

I m running fully upgraded Ubuntu 16.04.1 - here's appstream info

apt-cache policy appstream
appstream:
  Installed: 0.9.4-1ubuntu1
  Candidate: 0.9.4-1ubuntu1
  Version table:
     0.10.1-1~ubuntu16.04.1 100
        100 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-backports/main amd64 
Packages
 *** 0.9.4-1ubuntu1 500
        500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-updates/main amd64 
Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     0.9.4-1 500
        500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/main amd64 Packages

As you can see I have 0.9.4-1ubuntu1 instead of 0.9.4-1ubuntu2 [that Dan
Mick (dmick-m) has].

Running:

sudo apt install appstream
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
appstream is already the newest version (0.9.4-1ubuntu1).
appstream set to manually installed.

Should I just wait - or is there something else I need to do?

On a side note, because I usually run a custom command:

alias maintain='set -x; sudo apt update; sudo apt upgrade; sudo apt
autoremove; sudo apt autoclean; set +x'

the error goes away on a subsequent sudo apt update (that I run to
reproduce the error) until some time passes and then it reappears. I
think I read somewhere this has to do with the sudo apt upgrade running
but I 'm not sure.

Hope that info helps.
