Package: gnome-software
Version: 3.36.0-2
Severity: important
Dear Maintainers,
On a clean installation of Debian Sid with GNOME 3, I found myself unable to
use `gnome-software` as Debian packages where not listed at all.
It seems that gnome-software’s checks that `/usr/share/appdata` exists as a
condition to enable the `appstream` plugin.
At startup, gnome-software shows these logs:
```
16:37:41:0068 Gs enabled plugins: desktop-categories, fwupd, os-release,
packagekit, packagekit-local, packagekit-offline, packagekit-proxy,
packagekit-refine-repos, packagekit-refresh, packagekit-upgrade,
packagekit-url-to-app, desktop-menu-path, flatpak, hardcoded-blacklist,
hardcoded-popular, modalias, packagekit-refine, rewrite-resource, odrs,
packagekit-history, provenance, systemd-updates, generic-updates,
provenance-license, icons, key-colors, key-colors-metadata
16:37:41:0068 Gs disabled plugins: dpkg, dummy, repos, appstream
```
With option `--verbose` it also shows this log:
```
16:34:31:0313 Gs disabling appstream as setup failed: Error opening directory
?/usr/share/appdata?: No such file or directory
```
I believe this check should either be removed or a package (either
`gnome-software` or `appstream`) should create the `/usr/share/appdata`.
