    Hi there, trying to get Gnome Software Center going on a fresh install of Loki.

    This is the error I am getting:

    $ sudo apt install gnome-software
    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree
    Reading state information... Done
    Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
    requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
    distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
    or been moved out of Incoming.
    The following information may help to resolve the situation:

    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
    gnome-software : Depends: appstream but it is not going to be installed
    E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.


    Googled around a bit, found a potential solution, that didn't work.

    $ apt policy appstream
    appstream:
    Installed: 0.11.3-1~elementary0.4.1
