Bug Description

In appstream 0.15.2 (the version in Ubuntu jammy) the 'app-info' directories were renamed to 'swcatalog'. These new directory names aren't mounted with the appstream-metadata interface. Symlinks are also used for the old name, which aren't recreated or mounted either.

With the fixed snapd installed I had to restart my machine for snap-store to access the new directories.
