Description Daniel Rusek 2020-04-06 22:12:35 UTC 
Description of problem:
It seems that Firefox on Fedora is missing in GNOME Software because it apparently has some issue with its AppStream metadata.

How reproducible:
Every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open GNOME Software.
2. Search for "Firefox".

Actual results:
Only the Flatpak Firefox result is displayed.

Expected results:
Both RPM and Flatpak Firefox results are displayed.

Additional info:
It seems to happen on F31 (and older), F32 and Rawhide.
Comment 1 Daniel Rusek 2020-04-06 22:34:30 UTC 
The only problem that I noticed while checking the appdata file was a missing date in release tag.
Comment 2 Daniel Rusek 2020-04-07 12:56:23 UTC 
I think I have found the problem! It seems that Firefox is missing in /usr/share/app-info/xmls/fedora.xml.gz.

Switching this bz to appstream-data.
Comment 3 Kalev Lember 2020-04-07 13:11:46 UTC 
hughsie is looking into generating new appstream-data
Comment 4 Daniel Rusek 2020-04-08 10:00:07 UTC 
Hi Kalev,

I am not sure if just generating a new appstream-data package will help. I remember this issue happening since F30, or maybe even earlier, I just didn't know what was causing it.
Comment 5 Daniel Rusek 2020-04-12 13:04:39 UTC 
By the way, Audacity seems to have the same issue (see bz#1810509).
Comment 6 Kalev Lember 2020-04-14 19:16:40 UTC 
Should be fixed in https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2020-260adb91a9
Comment 7 Fedora Update System 2020-04-14 19:18:25 UTC 
FEDORA-2020-260adb91a9 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 32. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2020-260adb91a9
Comment 8 Daniel Rusek 2020-04-15 11:00:08 UTC 
I can confirm that Firefox is now displayed correctly in GNOME Software after installing the FEDORA-2020-260adb91a9 update. Audacity is still missing, but that is a different bz.
Comment 9 Fedora Update System 2020-04-16 01:41:34 UTC 
FEDORA-2020-260adb91a9 has been pushed to the Fedora 32 stable repository.
If problem still persists, please make note of it in this bug report.
