this issue is linked to how I can fix "AppStream cache update completed, but some metadata was ignored due to errors."?" I had similar problem as described in issue and the approved solution stated that we should update appstream to version 0.10.1+ But after updating to version 0.10.6 I am getting this error regularly after apt get update command

AppStream system cache was updated, but problems were found: Metadata files have
errors: /var/cache/app-info/xmls/fwupd.xml Reading package lists... Done E: Problem executing scripts APT::Update::Post-Invoke-Success 'if /usr/bin/test
-w /var/cache/app-info -a -e /usr/bin/appstreamcli; then appstreamcli refresh-ca
che > /dev/null; fi'

all I have to do is run apt get update again and it works. How to solved this?

 cat /etc/lsb-release
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=16.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=xenial
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS"

Update 23/07/2018
Actually its happening still again. Reinstalling didnt helped. Also tried purge:

apt-get purge libappstream3

But still same error.

@fkraiem: I thought question will be closed? Can I close it? – JIV Jul 20 '18 at 11:41
@JIV It is not closed now,; it may or may not be closed in the future. You can't close it yourself, but maybe you can delete it. – fkraiem Jul 20 '18 at 11:59
