Summary: Freshly installed Neon doesn't have a populated
Appstream os-catalog (/var/lib/swcatalog/yaml is
empty)
Classification: KDE Neon

Version: unspecified
Platform: Neon
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal

SUMMARY
I digged a bit to find out what was the actual root cause for the crash in bug
474402 since I couldn't reproduce it on an existing Neon which was installed a
while ago.
Here the ddebs component is found even if I purge all caches (both global and
for my user):

According to xb-tool dump is this id found in
$HOME/.cache/appstream/en-US-os-catalog.xb and based on a wild guess I found
/var/lib/swcatalog/yaml/archive.neon.kde.org_user_dists_jammy_main_dep11_Components-amd64.yml.gz
which seems to be the source for this.
That file is a symlink which does not exist on the freshly installed Neon.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install Neon user edition 20230907-0716, reboot into new system
1a. this should affect the Live ISO itself as well but I didn't check
2. ls -l /var/lib/swcatalog/yaml/
OBSERVED RESULT
Empty directory
