Ubuntu 17.04
appstream-generator 0.6.3

The same version (5.4.3-3) of fonts-oxygen is present in both Debian and Ubuntu, but Ubuntu's appstream generator gives an error:

font-metainfo-but-no-font
A metainfo file with component-type font was found, but we could not find any matching
font file (TrueType or OpenType) in the package.
This can mean that the <provides> - <font> tags contain wrong values that we could not
map to the actual fonts, or that the package simply contained no fonts at all.

(No issues page on Debian)

fonts-oxygen does contain these fonts:

/usr/share/fonts/truetype/oxygen/Oxygen-Sans-Bold.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/oxygen/Oxygen-Sans.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/oxygen/OxygenMono-Regular.ttf

A different font works

I recently added appstream metainfo for Cantarell in Ubuntu 17.04. I didn't specify any Provides but it shows up in Software (only if you explicitly search for Cantarell; I don't see it listed in any Category or in Installed.)
