Original Bug Description
========================
supertux2.desktop needs an AppStream compatible icon

[Robert Ancell (robert-ancell)]

It looks like supertux does have have a valid icon (/usr/share/icons/hicolor/256x256/apps/supertux.png). Perhaps it the fact that it is referred to "supertux.png" in the .desktop file and not "supertux" that is making it not work?

[Robert Ancell (robert-ancell)]

More information here:
http://appstream.ubuntu.com/xenial/universe/issues/supertux.html

But it's not a lack of icon that's an issue, just the way it is packaged.

[Matthias Klumpp (ximion)]

Suggestion how to quickly fix this: Drop the symbolic link from the `supertux` package, and move it to the `supertux-data` package, so it points to a file in the same package. That will fix the issue, and should make supertux appear in the metadata.

Additionally, adding a smaller icon size (48x48 or 64x64) would be helpful to make DEs work of scaling icons easier ;-) (but that's optional)

Fixed in debian-games' svn repo: http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/pkg-games?view=revision&revision=15768

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Fixed in Debian, thus the fix will come via the next sync/merge. Unsubscribing sponsors.

Hello Peco, or anyone else affected,

Accepted supertux into xenial-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/supertux/0.4.0-1ubuntu1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

SuperTux still isn't showing in Ubuntu 16.04's Software app.

The last time I handled a similar bug ( bug 1591115 ), the app showed up after enabling -proposed. (It did not work when testing in a PPA by the way.)

Matthias, any ideas what's not working?

[Iain Lane (laney)]

It works here. See the screenshot. Perhaps the archive hadn't yet published the AppStream update containing the new version of the package (check dists/suite/component/dep11 - it's there now).

[Jeremy Bícha (jbicha)]

I confirm SuperTux is in there now after enabling -proposed.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]
