That's weird. exo does not even ship an appdata file. I thought GNOME software showed only those items that shipped appdata files. $ rpm -ql exo | grep -i app /usr/bin/exo-preferred-applications /usr/share/applications/exo-file-manager.desktop /usr/share/applications/exo-mail-reader.desktop /usr/share/applications/exo-preferred-applications.desktop /usr/share/applications/exo-terminal-emulator.desktop /usr/share/applications/exo-web-browser.desktop /usr/share/icons/hicolor/24x24/apps/internet-mail.png /usr/share/icons/hicolor/24x24/apps/preferences-desktop-default-applications.png /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/internet-mail.png /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/preferences-desktop-default-applications.png /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/categories/applications-internet.png /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/categories/applications-other.png I will install GNOME in a VM and try to track this. Thanks for the report. The described behavior is indeed very unfortunate. Well I did this on Xfce, not GNOME. Also happens on F21. $ zcat /usr/share/app-info/xmls/fedora-21.xml.gz | grep '<name>Web Browser' -B3 -A156 <component type="desktop"> <id>exo-web-browser.desktop</id> <pkgname>exo</pkgname> <name>Web Browser</name> <name xml:lang="ar">متصفّح وِب</name> ... <name xml:lang="zh_TW">網路瀏覽器</name> <summary>Browse the web</summary> <summary xml:lang="ar">تصفح الوِب</summary> ... <summary xml:lang="zh_TW">瀏覽網路</summary> <icon type="stock">web-browser</icon> <categories> <category>Network</category> </categories> <kudos> <kudo>HiDpiIcon</kudo> </kudos> <project_license>LGPL-2.1+ AND GPL-2.0+</project_license> <url type="homepage">http://xfce.org/</url> <project_group>XFCE</project_group> <releases> <release version="0.10.2" timestamp="1356609600"/> <release version="0.10.1" timestamp="1355054400"/> <release version="0.10.0" timestamp="1354622400"/> </releases> <languages> <lang percentage="100">ar</lang> ... <lang percentage="100">zh_TW</lang> </languages> <metadata> <value key="X-CacheID">exo-0.10.2-8.fc21.x86_64.rpm</value> </metadata> </component> Looks like parsed from the desktop file for default web browser in Xfce. $ rpm -qf /usr/share/app-info/xmls/fedora-21.xml.gz appstream-data-21-20.fc21.noarch $ rpm -qf /usr/share/app-info/xmls/fedora-22.xml.gz appstream-data-22-7.fc22.noarch libappstream-glib-0.3.6-2.fc22 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 22. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/libappstream-glib-0.3.6-2.fc22 FYI, this was a typo in the appstream data.

Created attachment 1019846 [details] Screenshot When I looked to my installed apps in GNOME Software, I saw a "Web browser" with very little info, so I removed it. GNOME Software issued no warning and I removed exo and half of Xfce (I was running on Xfce). After restart, everything stopped working (no xfdesktop, na panel, etc...). I consider this dangerous. Feel free to reassign to gnome-software or some appdata tool responsible. exo-0.10.4-1.fc22 gnome-software-3.16.1-1.fc22
