Bug Description

I see this on my Ubuntu Focal (20.04) machine, and the reporter of the linked question sees the same problem on Groovy.

There must be something wrong with the Appstream data for Gramps. It used to work for earlier Ubuntu version (at least it was tested a few releases ago).

The Debian tracker reports the following error about the icon being installed in the wrong location:
https://appstream.debian.org/sid/main/issues/gramps.html

"Errors

    icon-not-found
    The icon 'gramps' was not found in the archive. This issue can have multiple reasons:
        The icon is not present in the archive.
        The icon is in a wrong directory.
        The icon is not available in a suitable size (at least 64x64px)
        On Debian and Ubuntu, the icon is a symlink. The generator cannot read symlinks on these distributions - make the icon a real file.
    To make the icon easier to find, place it in /usr/share/icons/hicolor/<size>/apps and ensure the Icon= value of the .desktop file is set correctly."

The gramps 5.1.2-1 program works just fine if installed with all of its dependencies.
I installed it using the synaptic package manager which included all dependencies required.
It has a Icon and it works. No problems at all.
The package is not available in the Ubuntu Software Center. I tried the search box.
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS in Virtual Box.
