generated xb data not usable in some locales

Opened this issue · 0 comments

I'm partly upstreaming this from a gnome-software bug:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-software/-/issues/2443

This is on Fedora 39 with libxmlb 0.3.15-1. Downgrade to the 0.3.14-1 doesn't seem to change anything.

where the user doesn't see Flatpak apps when runs gnome-software in some locales, while they are shown with for example en_US.utf8 locale.

We did some investigation in the bug and the xb-tool is able to reproduce the problem with failed queries, even though the query itself does not contain anything locale-specific.

You can fast-forward to this comment, though it would be good to read the whole bug, maybe. The user did not change the locale in the system, thus the things should just work, right?

Do you think there is a reason why the queries can fail, depending with which locale the gnome-software generates the xmlb blobs/files?
