[Bug 1548157] [NEW] Remove appstream-data from Ubuntu (xenial)

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Matthias Klumpp (ximion):

Hi!
Since Ubuntu ships AppStream metadata in its archive (starting with xenial), shipping static data in a package is no longer necessary.
In fact, if the package is accidentally installed on a system, it interferes with the fresh data from the archive server due to AppStream-ID collisions.

Please remove the appstream-data package (and all binary packages) from
xenial.

appstream-data has no reverse-dependencies anymore.

Cheers,
    Matthias
