Description Nate Graham 2019-01-11 23:15:47 UTC

This manifests in two ways:
- The Updates page has dozens of plasma components on top in the Applications section, uselessly cluttering the display
- The Installed page lists Plasma components, allowing the user to futilely attempt to launch them, and to dangerously attempt to remove them, which will remove all of Plasma (Bug 403118)

We should not mark items that have AppStream information but are non-launchable as apps for the purposes of viewing updates or installed items.

Comment 1 Aleix Pol 2019-05-16 15:07:16 UTC

This shouldn't be the case anymore for updates provided fresh AppStream information.

Still relevant in installed apps.

Comment 2 Nate Graham 2019-05-20 19:44:45 UTC

Does this require a newer AppStream release or something? I still see a zillion different entries in the Updates page on Neon Unstable.

Comment 3 Nate Graham 2019-10-24 20:10:42 UTC

This seems to be a packaging/AppStream bug in Neon. Other distros I've used recently (Manjaro, openSUSE) correctly mark the various kpackage components as addons of Plasma itself.

Surely that's https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=413272 which should be fixed for a day or two in dev editions.

Comment 8 Nate Graham 2019-10-24 20:34:51 UTC

Yep, looks like the same issue for sure. So when it that going to be demonstrably fixed in production? Are you just waiting on Ubuntu or something?

Comment 9 Harald Sitter 2019-10-24 20:37:06 UTC

This should be fixed in unstable and testing already. user editions lag behind because appstream data only refreshes when new snapshots are made, which is done as needed.

Looks solved to me.
