Public bug reported: [ Impact ]
* Currently, any application that is using modern AppStream metadata containing <em>/<code> tags in their description, and that is still using the deprecated appstream-glib will fail to parse this data. * Unfortunately, this affects some high-visibility applications now, like Flatpak, which are unable to perform proper searches. See https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues/5434 for reference. * This kind of issue may potentially affect more tools as well. [ Test Plan ] * Run "flatpak search firefox" - Observe the failure. * Update to the patched version * Run "flatpak search firefox" again, it should work now. [ Where problems could occur ] * The reverse-dependencies for appstream-glib in Ubuntu Jammy are: flatpak-tests unity libmalcontent-ui-0-0 libappstream-glib-dev gir1.2-appstreamglib-1.0 appstream-util flatpak * Flatpak should continue to work, and there should be no new errors in GNOME/Unity. [ Other Info ] * None. Updating this should mainly help Flatpak users and should have no ill effects on any other component of the OS. ** Affects: appstream-glib (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: appstream-glib (Ubuntu Jammy) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Patch added: "appstream-glib_0.7.18-2_to_0.7.18-2ubuntu0.1.debdiff" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2023215/+attachment/5678475/+files/appstream-glib_0.7.18-2_to_0.7.18-2ubuntu0.1.debdiff ** Also affects: appstream-glib (Ubuntu Jammy) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to appstream-glib in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2023215 Title: [SRU] Update to 0.7.18-2ubuntu0.1 for jammy To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/appstream-glib/+bug/2023215/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
