The appstream-glib stuff is not available in Ubuntu 14.10 - you might
try the appstream-validate tool, which does very basic validation, or
compile appstream-glib from source.
Alternatively, you can try the Debian packages.
Ubuntu 15.04 (development version) already has appstream-glib.

Reminds me that I wanted to get in touch with the Muon guys about the
state of their AppStream support... (And to finally get the Debian
generator code merge-ready).
Cheers,
