Bug description:
[Impact]
GNOME Software crashes if a broken snap is installed.
[Test Case]
1. Create and install a local snap:
$ mkdir -p /tmp/broken-snap/meta
$ printf "name: broken-snap\nversion: 1\n" > /tmp/broken-snap/meta/snap.yaml
$ sudo snap try /tmp/broken-snap
2. Break the snap
$ rm /tmp/broken-snap/meta/snap.yaml
3. Confirm the snap is broken:
$ snap list
Name Version Rev Developer Notes
broken-snap x1 try,broken
4. Restart gnome-software
$ killall gnome-software
5. Open GNOME Software and go to installed tab. Wait for items to
load.
Expected result:
Installed snaps are shown
Observed result:
GNOME Software crashes.
[Regression Potential]
Fix is to handle fields missing in broken snaps. Some risk of breaking
related code.
