I had to do it once, yes, it was awhile ago, I had no problem at that time.
Thanks for saying not to do it again if the situation ever comes up again ;)

I either give too many fucks or no fucks at all, it's like I cannot find a middle ground for a moderate fuck distribution, it's like what the fuck

I can confirm that a purge of appstream fix the problems during the install.If you take the 2018.3 patience calamares crash about issues with apt.Just to avoid any other errors I did also an apt update before tu run calamers because after the 10th test i was quite annoyed of the issue.Anyway this 2 commands let me to finish the distro installation.

I just did 2 installs from the original 2018.3.0, one on bare metal and one in KVM/QEMU and both times hit this problem with appstream. Both times purging it from live allowed the installer to complete happily. Hopefully this is addressed before the next release.

 I was most impressed that doing d-u of over 1900 packages worked without a hitch! I will remember to ask on IRC for a more recent image next time if it's a long time since release, which may be soon as I have one more install to do soon.

Like the other poster here, I was also tempted to change to Debian stable and installed Buster with the intention of tracking it to release and then sticking with it. siduction is just better though so Buster hasn't won me over!  ;) 8) The only issue I've had with upgrades for a very, very long time is with Nvidia driver for the new 5.0 kernel and even that was easy to fix with the nvidia-driver package from experimental.

I ran into the same issue on more then one distro variant. The one that I did find to work, after being very patient was using Netrunner debian which is stable. By this I do mean it got stuck for a while between 20-40% before it continued with the full install.
ake sure you add the neccessary sources to do the upgrades.
Using smxi you can then add siduction stuff. I then set upgrading to testing and then go to unstable. Might not be the best way, but I am now up and running without formating my home partition.
