Description of problem: As far as I can see in [1], the chromium-browser.appdata.xml file is being installed in the old (and now deprecated) recommended location at /usr/share/appdata instead on /usr/share/metainfo, which is what the AppStream specification defines now as the right one: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/appstream/docs/chap-Quickstart.html Indeed, a quick runtime check on my Fedora 28 machine confirms this: $ rpm -ql chromium | grep appdata /usr/share/appdata/chromium-browser.appdata.xml I believe this has worked fine so far because software inspecting this kind of information is still likely checking both places, but it would be good to have it move to its right location at some point, thus this bug.

Was fixed in commit: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/chromium/c/92b60dd6231b2b7bf1f5212720a5f423cc0417d8?branch=master Should be indicated in changelog and this bug closed.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 29 development cycle. Changing version to '29'.
