gnome-software on first run

Gnome-software shows two apps: Opera (browser) and Steam --- and no other --- after installing Leap 15.2 GNOME from the NET install image (build #665.2). At this stage:

```
> ls -l /var/cache/app-info/xmls/
total 4
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2836 Jun  2 19:52 repo-non-oss.xml.gz
```

Run `zypper ref --force` repeatedly, but no change in status.

Comment 1 Dominique Leuenberger 2020-06-03 06:41:49 UTC

Not a GNOME issue or even a GNOME-Software issue: the oss repo simply does not publish appstream metadata and as such there is nothing for GS to show:

http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/15.2/repo/oss/repodata/

Assigning to the release manager of Leap. This must be fixed before GM, as the repo would be without the correct metadata otherwise

I've hot-patched appstream-glib[1], I can see appdata* stuff re-appears in the new build.

@Jiri

This bug should also happen in SLE, worth to have a check, perhaps we also need this patch in SLE15 SP2.

Fixed in 15.2, please reopen if this issue has occurred again.
