Package: gnome-software
X-Debbugs-Cc: lorietta2023@???
Version: 43.5-1~deb12u1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,
Gnome-control-center are working in Debian but not in Devuan.
Neither one has been forked by Devuan, so these are unmodified Debian
versions.
The packagekit backend that they use is working, as well as GNOME's
alternative
software center gnome-packagekit.
The issue seems to be with appstream, which is the freedesktop.org
software responsible for the application details, like the name,
icon, screenshots, description, etc.
Apparently this metadata is missing from Devuan.
Both app centres are able to show information for installed
applications,
but they are not able to search for other applications.
Also in GNOME, right clicking an application and then clicking "Show
Details"
opens software center and says "No Application Data Found,"
but selecting an application from within the software center shows all
of its details,
although some screenshots are missing.
