Reading about appstream I found that the current stable version for Xenial is
appstream_0.9.4-1ubuntu1
But KDE Neon is installing the version 0.9.7-1+16.04+build1 that I think is for
Yakkety and is outdated I found the link to this version here:
http://archive.neon.kde.org/dev/stable/pool/main/a/appstream/
The current appstream version for Yakkety is 0.9.8-4
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/appstream
I found a workaround to temporary solve the problem:
```
cd /tmp && mkdir asfix
cd asfix
wget
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/appstream_0.9.4-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb
wget
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/libappstream3_0.9.4-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
```
