Bug Description

[Impact]
Installing snaps from the command line (or any other client) causes the state in GNOME Software to wrongly represented.

[Test Case]
1. Ensure you don't have moon-buggy installed
$ sudo snap remove moon-buggy
2. Start GNOME Software
3. Install moon-buggy from the command line:
$ sudo snap install moon-buggy
4. Search for "moon" in GNOME Software

Expected result:
Moon Buggy shows in search results as installed

Observed result:
Moon Buggy not returned in search results.

[Regression Potential]
Low, we fix a bug where were reading invalid metadata and a check that makes stops unexpected (but valid) state notification from the snap plugin.

Łukasz Zemczak (sil2100) wrote : Proposed package upload rejected

An upload of gnome-software to xenial-proposed has been rejected from the upload queue for the following reason: "Since this upload includes the same change for 'new media API' as others, I would feel much safer if we set a minimal version depenency to libsnapd-glib-dev (>= 1.45) - since it seems there was more than one snapd-glib version in xenial.".
