Description Oliver Beard 2025-10-08 01:14:17 UTC 
SUMMARY
In Dolphin, appstream URLS are incorrectly suffixed with ".desktop". This means that packagekit integration fails to find the package, and instead falls back to opening the URL. This also fails because Discover also cannot find the package.

Tangentially, we might also consider only providing the fallback route here. It doesn't seem necessary to handle installation ourselves, only to point the user to the right place (for us, Discover), and respond to success.

e.g. appstream://org.kde.kfind.desktop, appstream://org.kde.konsole.desktop, appstream://org.kde.filelight.desktop
