Public bug reported: I am using Kubuntu 17.10 with telegram-desktop 1.1.23-1. I've noticed that Ubuntu's packaging does not contain an AppStream metadata file:
$ dpkg-query -L telegram-desktop | grep appdata | wc -l 0 However, upstream sources do supply one: https://github.com/telegramdesktop/tdesktop/blob/dev/lib/xdg/telegramdesktop.appdata.xml Ubuntu's packaging should include this file. Because of the lack of this file, Telegram shows up twice in GNOME Software and KDE Discover if you enable the Flathub repo (presumably also the Snap backends): https://i.imgur.com/Q3jLxz6.png The top entry comes from Flathub, and the bottom one comes from Kubuntu 17.10's package repo. If the package repo version included the AppStream metadata file, then GNOME Software and KDE Discover would see that both apps have the same AppStream ID and de-duplicate them correctly, presenting a single entry with an option for the source. ** Affects: telegram-desktop (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1752227 Title: Ubuntu telegram-desktop has insufficient appstream metadata To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/telegram-desktop/+bug/1752227/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
