Package: appstream Version: 0.12.2-2 Followup-For: Bug #906711 Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate *** I run debian testing, I was on 0.12.2-1 and went to do an apt-update per usual and got this message: # apt-get update Hit:1 http://security.debian.org/debian-security buster/updates InRelease Hit:2 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian buster InRelease Hit:3 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian sid InRelease (appstreamcli:2734): GLib-CRITICAL **: 09:00:49.515: g_variant_builder_end: assertion '!GVSB(builder)->uniform_item_types || GVSB(builder)->prev_item_type != NULL || g_variant_type_is_definite (GVSB(builder)->type)' failed (appstreamcli:2734): GLib-CRITICAL **: 09:00:49.515: g_variant_new_variant: assertion 'value != NULL' failed (appstreamcli:2734): GLib-ERROR **: 09:00:49.515: g_variant_new_parsed: 11-13:invalid GVariant format string Trace/breakpoint trap I tried updating to 0.12.2-2 from sid repo and attempted to apt-update again but still getting same message. I expect it to run through apt-get update without seeing this message or a better indication on how best to address the issue.
