Description Fabian Vogt 2021-10-02 12:36:42 UTC

Basically the same as bug 1172416, just for 15.3.

Even after a forced zypper refresh, the only appstream metainfo is from the non-oss repo, containing just Steam and Opera.

The reason is that the main repo(s) do not have any appdata archives, e.g.: https://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/15.3/repo/oss/repodata/?P=*appdata*

Compared to TW: https://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/repodata/?P=*appdata*

This makes applications which work based on those files like GNOME Software and Plasma Discover pretty useless.

If this is about https://build.opensuse.org/package/rdiff/openSUSE:Leap:15.2/appstream-glib?linkrev=base&rev=24 , after CtLG, appstream-glib switch to SLE's version from SP2:GA which doesn't have that patch..

Looks like it:

[ 5049s] May-24 14:11:05 <1> : [I] Called /usr/bin/openSUSE-appstream-process /usr/src/packages/KIWIROOT/main/openSUSE-Leap-15.3-x86_64-aarch64-ppc64le-s390x-Build160.3-Media1 /usr/src/packages/KIWIROOT/main/openSUSE-Leap-15.3-x86_64-aarch64-ppc64le-s390x-Build160.3-Media1/repodata exit status: <139> output: Scanning packages...

I suppose the fix needs to be submitted to SLE?

It appears like a "15.3 respin" is in progress. If that's true, this needs to be included.

Yes, someone or maintainer need to submit it to SLE.

I forked appstream-glib+patch to 15.4 and 15.3 Respin.

A fixed version of appstream-glib is in SUSE:SLE-15-SP4:GA meanwhile.
