#1230560 — Bug#1094397: Wireshark has no AppStream metadata generated

Package: wireshark
Version: 4.4.3-1

Wireshark has no valid AppStream metadata generated and is not displayed in modern GUI software centers such as GNOME Software or KDE Discover. This seems to be caused by an AppStream ID collision with wireshark-qt (probably the riscv64 debports package):

"metainfo-duplicate-id
The component-id 'org.wireshark.Wireshark' already appeared in package 'wireshark-qt'. AppStream-IDs must be unique, please resolve which package will be providing this component by default."

https://appstream.debian.org/sid/main/issues/wireshark.html

Renaming the desktop file in wireshark-qt to, for example, "org.wireshark.Wireshark-qt.desktop" should fix this problem.

I wonder if the wireshark-qt package is still useful? It seems to be stuck on a version 4.0.7-1 and built only for riscv64 + even older builds for ia64, m68k and x32 (all of them are already supported by the base "wireshark" package). The base wireshark package is already on version 4.4.3-1.

It would be great if the "wireshark-qt" package could be removed from Debian (changed to a transitional package for "wireshark") or at least had its desktop file name changed to a non-conflicting one.

No, the wireshark-qt package has been removed for some time now.
Outdated packages on ports should be ignored when building the
metadata database.

I can't remove the package, the ports should fix the build
dependencies to be able to build the latest wireshark and/or the
appstream metadata generator should ignore outdated packages on ports:
https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=wireshark

Oh, I did not realize that the wireshark-qt package was already removed since it is still displayed on packages.debian.org[1]. Sorry!

I agree that removed packages should definitely be ignored by the AppStream metadata generator, however I am not sure where to report this problem.
