Public bug reported:
Installing software via gnome software store that has been downloaded
from websites does not show in gnome software as installed. Same applies
to source installs.
The issue is present regardless of flavor and in 22.04, 22.10 and 23.04
release.
Looking on the internet about people having similar problem, I found
that it could be related to the appstream; to quote Zorin OS devs that
answered to someone with similar problem with their distro:
"The Gnome Software Store will not recognize packages installed as .deb
self-installers. Nor will it see source installs using Make or Ninja."
"Since this is an appstream metadata issue, no one on the forum can "fix" this
issue. Only the Gnome Developers can and they were more interested only in
fixing anything in Gnome-Software that was going into Gnome 4+. There are some
short term workarounds, like removing the Software Cache files and restarting
the software store."
