[Bug 1081504] Re: Extras apps do not use the provided icon

[Michael Nelson]

Hi David,

This seems not to be a bug, but re-open if you find otherwise. The issue
afaics is that it's published in extras with the package name 'postman-
image-uploader' (correct), but sca/devportal has been told the package
name is 'postman' (wrong, but it may have been uploaded to a PPA with
that name in the past?). You can see this in the exported data from sca
[1] which is imported into apps.ubuntu.com with the wrong packagename
but the correct icon/screenshot [2].

It is not obvious from the devportal entry that this is the case, as it
is not yet displaying the uploaded package name, but it will be
displayed once the fix for bug 1084180 is deployed. Anthony should be
able to fix this data issue quite simply in the /admin/ UI (the other
option being to re-review the app, setting the correct package name).

Title:
  Extras apps do not use the provided icon

Status in Ubuntu web catalog:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  This is a follow-up from bug 1010655, as one of the issues pointed out
  there is still not fixed.

  For apps published in extras.ubuntu.com, the icon provided by the
  developer seems not to be used, which causes Software Center to use a
  generic icon for the app upon installation.

  Here's an example of a recent upload (see the generic icon used instead of the 64px one provided [1]):
