Okay, looks like nobody does the archive-wide data-hunt, and all fix their packaging or didn't have that problem (asked Arch, Fedora, got fuzzy reply from OpenSUSE because I couldn't find someone directly involved with this stuff).
So I would right now rather like to add an error hint warning about missing binaries / metainfo / .desktop files, instead of making the metadata extractor more complex to accomodate for few packages shipping .desktop file and metainfo in a package separated from the project's main binary. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to evince in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1553156 Title: evince not listed Status in appstream-glib package in Ubuntu: New Status in evince package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in gnome-software package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Using current xenial, evince is not listed in gnome-software. The log states it's of unknow application type ... could it come from the fact that the .desktop is in the -common binary?
