Details

Currently a lot of packages fail with "icon-not-found" error in the [community] repository, because they are referencing icons from packages in the [extra] repository, including all of them which uses stock icons, because the searched icon themes (Adwaita, Breeze)[1] are also in [extra].

There is a hard-coded setting[2] in the appstream-generator, which specifies, what repositories searched for the icon data. The hard-coded values are "main", "universe", which apply for Debian, but not suitable for Arch Linux. I would like to apply the attached patch, which sets these values to "core", "extra". This reduces the "icon-not-found" errors from 181 to 69 for the packages in [community] repository.

After the patch applied, the AppStream database needs to be regenerated.

Thanks - I'm OK with the patch, but please submit a pull request upstream (adding core and extra to the current array instead of replacing it) so we don't have to ship a distro specific patch forever - Arch is supported upstream.

I applied the patch for appstream-generator 0.7.4-8. You can rebuild the AppStream database with this version.
