Thanks for your report! You seem to encounter a bug reported earlier
today against appstream already, which is the package including the hook
failing here, so I am reassigning & merging so they can handle it there.

apt/aptitude/other libapt-based frontends will all show this behavior in
their update commands – but its "harmless" at least in terms of the
update operation itself: apt and co work as before, have pulled updated
files and can install upgrades. Impaired is "just" whatever appstream
needs the hook for (guesstimate is to parse Component files and icons,
so the appstore-type applications might not work as intended).


Best regards
