• Bug#1091523: AppStream metadata not generated for the firefox-esr packa

    From asciiwolf@seznam.cz@21:1/5 to All on Sat Dec 28 00:40:01 2024
    Package: firefox-esr
    Version: 128.5.1esr-1

    Even though Firefox ESR is preinstalled on most desktop Debian configurations, it does not appear to be displayed in GUI software stores like GNOME Software or KDE Discover in current testing/sid. It seems that its AppStream metadata were not generated
    because of a "missing icon" error:

    https://appstream.debian.org/sid/main/issues/firefox-esr.html

    This is most likely caused by the actual desktop icon (/usr/share/icons/hicolor/128x128/apps/firefox-esr.png and other sizes) being a symlink.

    Please, consider copying the icon to /usr/share/icons/ instead of just symlinking it to allow easy (un)installation and other management of Firefox ESR for regular users without the need to use a terminal.
