Package: fuss-launcher
Version: 0.5-1
Severity: normal

Hello,

if I don't have app-install-data installed and I install fuss-launcher,
keyword completion and suggestion works, but I get no results.

What happens is this:

 - apt-xapian-index is built and the index exists
 - fuss-launcher is installed, which brings in app-install-data
 - fuss-launcher does not do a full index rebuild in postinst, which
   would be overkill
 - therefore, the index does not have .desktop information inside, and
   since fuss-launcher filters results keeping only those that DO have
   .desktop information, nothing shows up.

A way to solve this is, at fuss-launcher startup, to check if the index
contains any .desktop information at all. If it does not, use the result
area to ask the user to rebuild the index. Or even try triggering a full
index rebuild via D-Bus if that is possible, and for extra points show a
progressbar.

Ciao,

Enrico
