internal-unknown-tag:
text: The generator emitted a tag '%(tag_name)s' which is unknown. This is a bug in the metadata generator, please
<a href="https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=appstream-dep11">file a bugreport</a>.
severity: warning
not-an-application:
text: "The .desktop file found in <i>/usr/share/applications</i> does not have a 'Type=Application' field."
severity: error
internal: true
invisible-application:
text: "The .desktop file in <i>/usr/share/applications</i> has the invisible flag set, the application is therefore ignored."
severity: error
internal: true
desktop-file-read-error:
text: "Unable to read data from .desktop file: %(msg)s"
severity: error
metainfo-parse-error:
text: "Unable to parse AppStream upstream XML, the file is likely malformed. Error:<br/>%(msg)s"
severity: error
ancient-metadata:
text: The AppStream metadata should be updated to follow a more recent version of the specification.<br/>
Please consult <a href="http://freedesktop.org/software/appstream/docs/chap-Quickstart.html">the XML quickstart guide</a> for more information.
severity: info
description-from-package:
text: This component gets its description from the package it is located in.<br/>
This has several disadvantages, like missing localization, possibly too short descriptions, too technical descriptions for users of software centers, etc.<br/>
Please consider writing a metainfo file for this component. In the near future, components without metainfo file might be dropped from the metadata.
You can consult the <a href="http://freedesktop.org/software/appstream/docs/chap-Quickstart.html">XML quickstart guide</a> for more information on how to write
a metainfo file.
severity: info
svgz-decompress-error:
text: "Unable to decompress SVGZ icon '%(icon_fname)s'. Error: %(error)s"
severity: error
icon-format-unsupported:
text: "Icon file '%(icon_fname)s' uses an unsupported image file format."
severity: error
icon-not-found:
text: >
The icon '%(icon_fname)s' was not found in the archive. This issue can have multiple reasons:
<ul>
<li>The icon is not present in the archive.</li>
<li>The icon is in a wrong directory.</li>
<li>The icon is not available in a suitable size (at least 64x64px)</li>
</ul>
To make the icon easier to find, place it in <code>/usr/share/icons/hicolor/&lt;size&gt;/apps</code> and ensure the <code>Icon=</code> value
of the .desktop file is set correctly.
severity: error
icon-open-failed:
text: >
Unable to open icon file '%(icon_fname)s'. Error: %(error)s<br/>
This means the generator could not render the icon to its appropriate size, and the icon has therefore been ignored.
severity: error
deb-filelist-error:
text: Could not determine file list for '%(pkg_fname)s'. This could be an error in the archive, dpkg, apt_pkg or the DEP-11 generator.<br/>
If you think this error is in the generator, please <a href="https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=appstream-dep11">file a bug</a>.
severity: error
deb-extract-error:
text: "Could not extract file '%(fname)s' from package '%(pkg_fname)s'. Error: %(error)s"
severity: error
deb-empty-file:
text: File '%(fname)s' from package '%(pkg_fname)s' appeared to be empty.<br/>
It could also be a broken symbolic link, or a link pointing to a file in a different package (in that case, please replace
the link with the actual file).
severity: error
metainfo-no-id:
text: Could not determine an id for this component. The AppStream upstream metadata likely lacks an <code>&lt;id/&gt;</code> tag.<br/>
The identifier tag is absolutely essential for AppStream metadata, and must never be missing.
severity: error
missing-desktop-file:
text: Found an AppStream upstream XML file, but the associated .desktop file is missing. This often happens when the .desktop file is renamed, but the
<code>&lt;id/&gt;</code> tag of the AppStream metainfo file is not adapted as well, or if the metainfo file is located in a different package than the .desktop file.<br/>
Please fix the packaging or work with upstream to resolve this issue.
severity: error
gui-app-without-icon:
text: The GUI application (application which has a .desktop file for the XDG menu and <code>Type=Application</code>) with AppStream-ID '%(cid)s' has been found,
but we could not find a matching icon.
severity: error
screenshot-download-error:
text: >
Error while downloading screenshot from '%(url)s' for component '%(cpt_id)s': %(error)s<br/>
This might be a temporary server issue.
severity: warning
screenshot-read-error:
text: >
Error while reading screenshot data for '%(url)s' of component '%(cpt_id)s': %(error)s<br/>
Maybe the server returned an invalid image (e.g. an error page), or the image data is broken.
severity: warning
metainfo-no-type:
text: Component has no type defined. A component type (desktop, input-method, generic, ...) is essential. This issue is likely
an internal bug in the data extractor.
severity: error
metainfo-unknown-type:
text: The component-type '%(type)s' is unknown. Please make sure this component type is mentioned in the specification, and that the
<code>type=</code> property of the component root-node of the metainfo file does not contain a typing error.
severity: error
metainfo-no-name:
text: Component has no name specified. Ensure that the AppStream upstream metadata or the .desktop file (if there is any) specify a component name.
severity: error
metainfo-no-package:
text: Component has no package defined. A package must be associated with a component. This is likely a bug in the generator.
severity: error
metainfo-no-summary:
text: >
Component does not contain a short summary. Ensure that the components metainfo file has a <code>summary</code> tag, or that its .desktop file
has a <code>Comment=</code> field set. Especially applications by KDE often use the <code>GenericName</code> field for a short summary,
instead of the <code>Comment</code> field (which is not its intended use case).<br/>
More information can be found in the <a href="http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ar01s05.html">Desktop Entry specification</a>.
severity: error
metainfo-localized-field-without-template:
text: The field '%(field_id)s' has no untranslated template entry ("C"). This is usually an error in the accompanying .desktop file, or the translation
template in the AppStream XML is missing.
severity: error
metainfo-duplicate-id:
text: The component-id '%(cid)s' already appeared in package '%(pkgname)s'. AppStream-IDs must be unique, please resolve which package will be
providing this component by default.<br/>
This issue may happen temporarily when metadata is moved from one package to another. In that case, ignore this issue, it will vanish soon.
severity: error
