Public bug reported: I heard my fan going and checked, and appstreamcli was consuming a whole core. I rebooted, and immediately it was doing it again, and I had to SIGKILL it. I'll reboot shortly and report whether it does it again. I assume I should make it dump core if so. Very recent 16.04 install, not doing anything odd with it. The dpkg lock was held though, which I assume would be related. I was going to reboot because of that as a safe option when I noticed appstreamcli. ---- ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 Package: appstream 0.9.4-1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-22.40-generic 4.4.8 Uname: Linux 4.4.0-22-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Thu May 19 18:55:15 2016 EcryptfsInUse: Yes InstallationDate: Installed on 2016-05-14 (5 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS "Xenial Xerus" - Release amd64 (20160420.1) SourcePackage: appstream UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: appstream (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug xenial ** Description changed: I heard my fan going and checked, and appstreamcli was consuming a whole core.
