Bug#804094: gnome-software: Fails to remove applications

[Marcus Lundblad]

Package: gnome-software
Version: 3.18.2-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Trying to remove an application has no effect.
The package is still installed.
Running g-s with Glib debug logging reveals the following:

(org.gnome.Software:8473): Gs-DEBUG: remove lshw-gtk.desktop
(org.gnome.Software:8473): Gs-DEBUG: run 0x25bd4a0~GsPlugin::packagekit(gs_plugin_app_remove)
(org.gnome.Software:8473): Gs-DEBUG: not supported for plugin packagekit: no packages to remove
(org.gnome.Software:8473): Gs-DEBUG: run 0x25bd4a0~GsPlugin::epiphany(gs_plugin_app_remove)

(org.gnome.Software:8473): Gs-WARNING **: State change on lshw-gtk.desktop from installed to available is not OK

Regard,
Marcus
