Hi Petter,

is debian/<packagename> related to a directory on your system?

I still can't get any useful output from 'appstreamcli validate-tree'

In fact, if I try 'appstreamcli validate-tree garbage'
the result is exactly the same, as if I point it to a source package!

'appstreamcli --version'
  gives
'AppStream version: 1.0.3'
