Thank you for the heads up. The lintian test is using appstreamcli validate-tree, and as far as I know this do not report any false positives, but the same issues that would make the appstream parser ignore the Appstream information. Peter, do you have an example package I could look at to see the false positives you are talking about? The example fragments mentioned earlier are confusing, as the lintian check should only run if a file is discovered in /usr/share/metainfo/, and the message "I: ~:~: dir-no-metadata-found" indicate that no metainfo XML file was present in the directory. Just as a test and to check, I fetched the source for a random package listed on <URL: https://udd.debian.org/lintian-tag/appstream-metadata-validation-failed?affected=yes >, catfish, and its lintian detected Appstream error was present (W: org.xfce.Catfish:~: metainfo-filename-cid-mismatch). If there is a false positive somewhere, I am happy to investigate. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen
