I built a local version with the .desktop file moved and the appstream data manually edited and it worked.
I've made the packaging change here in lp:~robert-ancell/evince/ubuntu-lp1553156 Seb - can you give a second opinion if you think moving the .desktop file makes sense and can you double check it has the correct Breaks/Replaces for this? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to evince in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1553156 Title: evince not listed Status in appstream-glib package in Ubuntu: New Status in evince package in Ubuntu: New Status in gnome-software package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Using current xenial, evince is not listed in gnome-software. The log states it's of unknow application type ... could it come from the fact that the .desktop is in the -common binary?
