Yes indeed, if they had installed any custom .desktop file around. And that 
might happen.
It's not xenial issue per se, but there are scenarios where this happens (like 
my install).

Or well any snap could for example ship a wrong .desktop file and make
gnome-software not to work...

Unsubscribing sponsors as there's nothing left to sponsor.

Artful is also EOL.

Does it actually cause crashes for Xenial users in practice? If not,
what's the justification for SRUing it?

> Is this policy?

I'm not sure. Perhaps we should clarify it on a mailing list and then
document the answer, because it's something that I think comes up fairly
regularly.

Is this policy? If so, it's not one I'm aware of - can you clarify
please?

My understanding of the position was that you have to make sure a proper
package upgrade path is maintained, basically that the versions go in
the right direction and that the package is upgradable. Apart from that
I thought it was at the discretion of the uploader exactly which
releases they wanted to fix. Is that wrong?

Cheers,

Does this bug indeed also affect artful? If that's the case then we'd
need it prepared and uploaded for artful before getting the xenial one
accepted.

[Bug 1744941] Re: gnome-software crashes in as_app_parse_desktop_file

[Treviño]

** Description changed:

+ [ Impact ]
+ 
+ Malformed .desktop files might causes crashes because
+ the returned list is NULL.
+ 
+ [ Test case ]
+  - Download and copy in one of your XDG_DATA_DIRS (i.e. 
~/.local/share/applications)
+this .desktop file:
+
https://github.com/hughsie/appstream-glib/files/1656100/org.gnome.frogr.desktop.gz
+  - Run gnome-software it must not crash.
+ 
+ [ Regression potential ]
+ 
+ Missing metadata from .desktop files, but really this is just a null-
+ checks fix, so not really anything might go worse.
+ 
+ 
+ 
+ 
  See more at upstream bug: https://github.com/hughsie/appstream-
  glib/pull/221
  
  This affects all the releases since xenial.

Thanks.

Please could you make the bug description SRU compliant?

For B we should probably fix this by taking the whole new point release.
