Last night I discovered this (yet another) new dependency required to 
compile GIMP. I'm still trying to compile it as my distro only has a 0.5 
version of the library. I have no idea why it is needed. When I tried to 
compile it I find it tries to ocmpile with support for RPM packaging. I 
don't use RPM packaging on my machine.

Richard, I would have said that you need to installed the -dev package of 
libappstream-glib installed on your machine except you buit-it yourself. I'm 
trying to compile it myself but it isn't finding the yaml library even 
though it is installed. If I get my compile to work I can dig in to the problem.
