This is caused by the libsystemd.pc file not being found. It is provided
by elogind in this command block:

ninja install                                           &&
ln -sfv  libelogind.pc /usr/lib/pkgconfig/libsystemd.pc &&
ln -sfvn elogind /usr/include/systemd

So if the libsystemd.pc symlink pointing to libelogind.pc doesn't exist,
AppStream will bail.

So, ensure you installed elogind and made the symlink as shown above.
