Especially since libreoffice-startcenter.desktop is not in appstreams dir: $ dpkg -L libreoffice-common | grep appd $ for i in writer calc base impress draw; do dpkg -L libreoffice-$i | grep appd; done /usr/share/metainfo/libreoffice-writer.appdata.xml /usr/share/metainfo/libreoffice-calc.appdata.xml /usr/share/metainfo/libreoffice-base.appdata.xml /usr/share/metainfo/libreoffice-impress.appdata.xml /usr/share/metainfo/libreoffice-draw.appdata.xml $ So how would it get their info from? Or we do it together with https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=883734 (and basically removing the .desktop) though I still don't lkike that.. Regards, Rene
