Bug Description
Impact:
gnome-software doesn't understand apturls
Test case:
start "gnome-software apt:gedit", it should opens the gedit page, clicking on an "apt:" url in firefox should open gnome-software on the corresponding package
one limitation, it only works for apps gnome-software knows about though (so mostly graphical softwares)
Regression potential:
it only adds support for a new type or url shouldn't regress existing code
-----------------
Doing the same in software-center opens the gedit details page
software-center used to the default handler for apt: urls, I've changed that to apturl but if we want to keep the previous user experience we should have gnome-software handle those

Only slightly related, but maybe interesting for you: Long-term, you might want to consider to switch to distro-agnostic appstream:// urls, which GNOME Software can handle. So, appstream: org.gnome. gedit.desktop instead of apt:gedit . /www.freedeskto p.org/software/ appstream/ docs/sect- AppStream- Services- UrlHandler. html
