** Description changed:
- The FlightGear package cannot be installed using the Gnome Software
- application because it's missing the needed metadata.
+ Impact
+ ======
+ The FlightGear package cannot be installed using the Gnome Software
application.
+
+ Because the app icons were being installed to a non-standard location,
+ the .xpm icon was being used instead by the .desktop. That's a low-
+ resolution icon and is invalid for appstream.
+
+ This was fixed in Debian and in yakkety by correcting the icon install
+ locations and dropping the obsolete .xpm and .menu, but for xenial a
+ more minimal fix of just correcting the icon install is provided in case
+ someone uses the .xpm or .menu.
+
+ https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flightgear/1:2016.2.1+dfsg-6
+
+ Test Case
+ =========
+ 1. Open the Software app in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
+ 2. Search for "flight" or "flightgear"
+ 3. Do you see the FlightGear app?
+
+ Regression Potential
+ ====================
+ The only thing changed is the icon install locations. They were being
installed to the top level directory /usr/share/icons/ instead of to the
standard /usr/share/icons/hicolor/ . A bonus is that the 128x128 high
resolution app icons are being installed now too.
