screenshot of KDE discover warning about firefox removal

zypper patch claims to remove firefox when installing updates. It refers to the application, not the package. So appstream metadata related. I thought that was supposed to be solved? It's even worse in KDE discover (see screenshot).
Comment 1 Michael Andres 2018-07-04 10:00:55 UTC
Frankly, I don't think this will ever be solved. 

In zypper 1.14.7 we suppress all application related summary messages. And I'm preparing to completely drop them the pool...
Comment 2 Ludwig Nussel 2018-07-04 10:54:45 UTC
not looking at that from package management side would also be fine as long as we don't get those messages anymore. So will that zypper be made available as online update?

Yes, probably submitted this week
Comment 4 Dominique Leuenberger 2018-07-04 11:22:29 UTC
'old problem': the update channel has no valid AppStream metadata (just like every other OBS project)
Comment 8 Michael Andres 2018-09-07 10:17:25 UTC
libzypp-17.7.0 (TW/SLE15) will no longer generate application pseudo packages in the .solv caches. You can think about building libsolv with -DENABLE_APPDATA=0 in 15.1.
