Works well for me (0.5.13-1ubuntu2). Thanks for getting this done. I assume it can go into -updates now.

[Test Case 1] * Close all instances of GNOME Software (also the background daemon!) * Launch GNOME Software again: All apps should be present, you should notice no change. [Test Case 2] * Close all instances of GNOME Software (also the background daemon!) * Get new-style metadata, e.g. from Elementary or Debian[1], or simply add the SIL repo which is shipping that metadata now: http://packages.sil.org/ (that would be the easiest way to test) * Launch GNOME Software again: All apps should be present, including the 3rd-party ones (search for "FieldWorks"). [1]: ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/stretch/main/dep11/ [Regression Potential] * This is adding a missing feature, restoring compatibility with 3rd- party repos. The existing data should be parsed as before, so I don't see much regression potential ("Test Case 1" needs to work) [Other Info] * This fix has been applied upstream: https://github.com/hughsie/appstream-glib/commit/628e3cfb1c62c3177d6decd86102217f2546e0a2 * The fix is also present in Debian.
