Bug 510754

SUMMARY

Plasma Discover and/or its AppStream and PackageKit backend does not recognize Devuan
as a distribution.

I chose Debian Unstable aka Sid as closest match to Devuan Ceres in "Platform".


STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. Start Plasma Discover on Devuan from a terminal


OBSERVED RESULT

On start page there is the error message "apps can not be loaded".

On console there are the error messages:

AppStreamIntegration: No distro component found for "org.devuan.devuan"
PackageKitBackend: No distro component found for "org.devuan.devuan"

Flatpaks are displayed and packages can be upgraded. But I can only search
for Flatpak apps or games not for any apps or games in Devuan.


EXPECTED RESULT

Works like it would work in Debian. I believe Devuan can be treated just like Debian
regarding KDE software. There are a few features that are only available with Systemd
–  like program view in the system monitor –, but as far as I am aware all KDE/Plasma
related packages are unforked and thus are as in Debian. I am grateful that I can use
Plasma on Devuan. Thank you!
