Description Jonathan Riddell 2016-04-15 09:55:28 UTC 
Using plasma-discover from KDE neon git-unstable today I run discover and it shows lots of empty panels

The problem is in appstream as when I use cli I get
>appstreamcli get org.kde.dolphin.desktop --details
Unable to find component with id 'org.kde.dolphin.desktop'!

but discover should show an error message rather than just carry on regardless

Reproducible: Always
