Bug#847085: qtcreator: GNOME Software catalog entry missing

[asciiwolf]

Still not fixed and it looks like that there was some issue with the AppStream 
generator:

image-write-error
Could write new image generated from 'QtProject-qtcreator.png' (package 
'qtcreator-data_4.2.0-1_all.deb'): Failed to spawn new process (Cannot allocate 
memory)

Bug#847085: qtcreator: GNOME Software catalog entry missing

[asciiwolf]

Package: qtcreator
Version: 4.1.0-4
Severity: normal

The Qt Creator package cannot be found and/or installed using GNOME Software
because the qtcreator.desktop file contained in the package is missing a 
"Comment" section that is required by AppStream to generate correct 
metadata.

https://appstream.debian.org/sid/main/issues/qtcreator.html

[Test Case]
1. Open the GNOME Software application.
2. Type "Qt Creator" into the search bar.

Bug#1094404: NeoChat has missing AppStream metadata

[asciiwolf]

Package: neochat
Version: 24.08.1-4

NeoChat is missing in modern GUI software centers such as GNOME Software or KDE 
Discover because it has no AppStream metadata generated for some reason:

https://appstream.debian.org/sid/main/metainfo/neochat.html

Both the desktop and appdata files seem to be correct and the desktop icon is 
also fine so I am not sure where the problem is.

Bug#1094404: NeoChat has missing AppStream metadata

[asciiwolf]

Everything looks correct:

$ appstreamcli validate metainfo/org.kde.neochat.appdata.xml
Validation was successful.
$ grep desktop-id metainfo/org.kde.neochat.appdata.xml
  org.kde.neochat.desktop

$ desktop-file-validate applications/org.kde.neochat.desktop
$ echo $?
0

$ grep Icon applications/org.kde.neochat.desktop
Icon=org.kde.neochat
$ file icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/org.kde.neochat.svg

Bug#1101693: Missing AppStream metadata

[asciiwolf]

Sorry, small typo correction:

marble-qt-data (which is a dependency of marble-data which is a dependency of 
marble)

Bug#1101693: Missing AppStream metadata

[asciiwolf]

Package: marble
Version: 4:24.12.2-3

AppStream metadata for the Marble package appear to be missing:

https://appstream.debian.org/sid/main/metainfo/marble.html
https://appstream.debian.org/sid/main/issues/marble.html

This is most likely caused by the desktop icon (marble.png) being in 
marble-qt-data (which is a dependency of marble-qt which is a dependency of 
marble). This is not correct - the icon should either be in the main package or 
in its direct dependency (in this case marble-data).

Please, consider fixing this issue to allow easy GUI installation of Marble by 
non-expert users without forcing them to use a terminal or tools like Synaptic.

> I can successfully find neochat in Plasma Discover

Are you sure? (It may be showing because you already have that package 
installed on your system.)

I am still not able to find NeoChat in GNOME Software and the Debian AppStream 
generator page still returns 404.

Bug#1094404: NeoChat has missing AppStream metadata

It looks like the AppStream generator page is now present. Not sure what 
changed, but the issue has probably been fixed.

Feel free to verify it and close this ticket.

Thanks!
