Gnome Software catalog entry missing for Wine

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

In Xenial, Wine is showing as "Wine Settings", probably because there is a "NoDisplay=true" line in the wine.desktop file (because we don't want the Wine launcher to be displayed in the menu, we just want it to handle the corresponding mimetypes); in Yakkety, Wine is not showing at all because the wine.desktop and other desktop/icon files are missing.

src:wine (1.8.6-3) and src:wine-development (2.0~rc6-1) add AppStream metainfo to the packages. This should fix this.

This bug was fixed in the package wine - 1.8.6-3ubuntu1

---------------
wine (1.8.6-3ubuntu1) zesty; urgency=medium

  * Merge with Debian (LP: #1571816). Remaining changes:
    - Use unversioned sonames in debian/scripts/sonames2elf
      so that dpkg-shlibdeps can find libGL.so in Ubuntu (closes: #827770).
    - Rename package wine to wine-stable. Needed for the transition to a
      0-epoch in the version number.
      Necessary until after the transition is complete (18.04).

wine (1.8.6-3) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Fix AppStream metainfo file (closes: #848839).

wine (1.8.6-2) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Jens Reyer ]
  * Cherrypick changes from master:
    - Reorganize patches and add some metadata.
    - Drop shlib-exit-calls.patch.
    - Drop openal.patch, fixed upstream.
    - Simplify the foreign-arch test in the wine script.
    - Let wine suggest winbind.
    - Change trigger interest to noawait (LP: 1652434).
    - Documentation updates.
    - Blacklist some extensions for native file type association
      (closes: #845334).
  * Sort packages in debian/control.in.
  * Drop obsolete entries from d/clean.
  * Check for invalid WINEARCH values (closes: #838474).
  * Generate and install wine.svg icon.
  * Add initial AppStream metainfo file (closes: #848839).

From Ubuntu GNOME 16.04.2 and 16.10, I enabled -proposed updates. I opened the Software app and searched for wine. The entries showed correctly for wine-development on 16.04 LTS and 16.10 and for wine in 16.10.

For 16.04 LTS, the entry showed as "Configure Wine" when it should be just "Wine". I will need to do more research to find out how to improve this. For the SRU team, you are welcome to release all but wine1.6. You can even release wine1.6 if you want to since it's still an improvement to show something rather than nothing.

Please confirm or deny whether

  http://appstream.ubuntu.com/data/xenial-proposed/universe/Components-amd64.yml.gz

contains the right thing for wine1.6.

If it does, then the problem is probably on the client side. If not,
then it's obviously on the server (or in the package).

The .yml says the right thing for wine1.6.

Oh, and you can use `appstreamcli get org.winehq.wine' to verify that
appstreamcli sees the right thing.

Note that if this is right then it does *not* mean that gnome-software
will report the same data. It's just to check that the data has been
downloaded onto the system properly. appstreamcli is provided by
src:appstream (AFAIK used by Discover, but maybe not in 16.04), but
gnome-software uses src:appstream-glib to parse the appstream, as well
as doing its own manipulations.

SRU Team, I uploaded wine1.6 1.6.2-0ubuntu14.2 to the xenial unapproved queue to try to improve wine1.6's appearance in the Software app.

I filed https://bugzilla.gnome.org/779379 since the name is still not ideal for wine1.6/xenial-proposed. This might be a gnome-software bug since the appstream data seems correct.

SRU Team, I'm fine if you release all of these SRUs. We can track the remaining wine1.6 issue in a separate bug but having the wrong name is better than not showing up at all.

I'm marking this verification-done since it looks to me like we'll need to backport changes from appstream-glib and gnome-software to fix the wine1.6 name issue. Or if that's too invasive, maybe we can figure out another way to work around the issue.

12:49 <jbicha> wine1.6 is just a transitional package in 16.10+
12:49 <rbasak> OK, so Invalid?
12:50 <jbicha> if you want; I just had it set to the same status as xenial

The verification of the Stable Release Update for wine-development has completed successfully and the package has now been released to -updates. Subsequently, the Ubuntu Stable Release Updates Team is being unsubscribed and will not receive messages about this bug report. In the event that you encounter a regression using the package from -updates please report a new bug using ubuntu-bug and tag the bug report regression-update so we can easily find any regressions.

12:51 <rbasak> jbicha: OK thanks. wine1.6 for Xenial hasn't aged enough anyway. The others look fine to accept. Personally I'd hold wine1.6 in xenial-proposed until it's properly resolved, and drop the X-AppStream-Ignore change unless it is demonstrably required.

12:52 <rbasak> (demonstrably required whether for this bug or some other SRU-worthy issue)

12:54 <jbicha> ok

Full discussion at: https://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2017/03/01/%23ubuntu-devel.html around 12:28 UTC. Switching back to verification-needed for wine1.6 in Xenial (and all others are released).

Robie decided not to accept wine1.6/xenial today because the bug is still not fully fixed. Also, he'd prefer to not have an SRU add X-AppStream-Ignore unless it's needed to fix the bug.

As part of a recent change in the Stable Release Update verification policy we would like to inform that for a bug to be considered verified for a given release a verification-done-$RELEASE tag needs to be added to the bug where $RELEASE is the name of the series the package that was tested (e.g. verification-done-xenial). Please note that the global 'verification-done' tag can no longer be used for this purpose.

Thank you!

I can find wine 1:1.6.2-0ubuntu14 in gnome-software 3.20.5 from the Ubuntu desktop PPA in Xenial.

I also verify Amr's observation that this bug is fixed with the combination of wine1.6 from xenial-proposed and gnome-software from ppa:ubuntu-desktop/gnome-software.

I then purged that PPA and wine still showed correctly in gnome-software so maybe this was even fixed already in a previous gnome-software update.

Therefore, I am marking this fix as verified. Thanks Amr!

Jeremy, my observation is a little funny. In gnome-software 3.20.5, I actually can see and install wine 1:1.6.2-0ubuntu14, which is in the release pocket, not in -proposed. It means that somehow there is correct appstream metadata in the release pocket! Could you verify that?

gnome-software 3.20.5 isn't in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS right now. With 3.20.5, I still see "Configure Wine". It's only after enabling proposed updates that it changes to just "Wine" like it is supposed to.

Be sure that you completely kill gnome-software after changing your apt sources or change gnome-software's version. Otherwise, it likes to keep running in the background. I use
pkill gnome-software

I'm not sure yet, and we need more info, but it seems this doesn't work correctly, yet.
