            Bug ID: 374310
           Summary: Cannot build plasma-desktop without AppStreamQt
                    installed
           Product: frameworks-plasma
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: critical
          Priority: NOR
         Component: libplasma
          Assignee: notm...@gmail.com
          Reporter: omarplum...@imergetechnologies.com
  Target Milestone: ---

Building from source with kdesrc-build:

Build fails with:

"Could not find a package configuration file provided by "AppStreamQt"".

I in fact do not have AppStreamQt (or AppStream itself) installed, nor do I
wish to have them installed, since my current package management tools more
than suffice for my particular needs.

Observation: The CMakeLists.txt of plasma-desktop states the purpose of
AppStreamQt as: "Provides package management integration to the application
launcher."

Suggestion: Would it not be more fitting to implement this functionality as
part of the Discover framework?
