This means you get no installed software after first installing g-s until you update again. I tried to ask apt's developers if they could see a way to fix this but on first reply they deny there is a problem at all. http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.apt.devel/30085 So I think we have to workaround the problem somehow. First strawman: have gnome-software do an 'update' on first launch if it finds no appstream metadata and /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50appstream is installed. We also need to fix this in livecd-rootfs for new installs. I guess there we can add a hook to do an update as part of the build.
