I think this bug has been fixed and is just old. Marking as invalid across the board.

But in a container, ubuntu-app-launch fails with $ ubuntu-app-launch `ubuntu-app-triplet com.ubuntu.calculator` ** (process:766): WARNING **: Unable to find keyfile for application 'com.ubuntu.calculator_calculator_1.3.283' init: application-legacy (com.ubuntu.calculator_calculator_1.3.283-1403523098604203) pre-start process (770) terminated with status 1 In strace I see that it looks for the .desktop file in the following locations: /home/ubuntu/.cache/ubuntu-app-launch/desktop/com.ubuntu.calculator_calculator_1.3.283.desktop /home/ubuntu/.local/share/applications/com.ubuntu.calculator_calculator_1.3.283.desktop /usr/local/share/applications/com.ubuntu.calculator_calculator_1.3.283.desktop /usr/share/applications/com.ubuntu.calculator_calculator_1.3.283.desktop but not in the click dir: $ click pkgdir com.ubuntu.calculator /opt/click.ubuntu.com/.click/users/@all/com.ubuntu.calculator The workaround is to create the symlink manually, then it works: $ ln -s `click pkgdir com.ubuntu.calculator`/*.desktop .cache/ubuntu-app-launch/desktop/`ubuntu-app-triplet com.ubuntu.calculator`.desktop $ ubuntu-app-launch `ubuntu-app-triplet com.ubuntu.calculator` But that's certainly not something that autopkgtest should do.
