Bug ID: 473127
Summary: Discover does not switch to the right backend for
installed apps, making it look like the application is
not installed
Classification: Applications
Product: Discover
Version: 5.27.7
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: discover
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: guimarcalsi...@gmail.com
CC: aleix...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
If you navigate to a page of an application that is already installed and you
have multiple backends available, Discover will prefer showing the page for the
default backend, which makes it seem like the application is not installed when
it actually is installed by another backend. Check the steps below for
clarification.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Make sure to note which backend is set as your default in the settings page
2. Search for an application that is already installed on your system by a
backend which is not the default (eg. If your default is Flatpak, search for an
app installed by your distro or by Snap)
OBSERVED RESULT
The app page prefers showing the page for the default backend, and as such
shows the button to Install that application, even though the same application
is already installed by another backend.
EXPECTED RESULT
It should switch to the backend that installed the application, that way, when
accessing the app page it will show the option to uninstall. If an application
was installed by 2 or more backends that aren't the default, it should probably
show a message that other backends have the same application installed.
