RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Tomas Popela 2023-03-03 07:56:22 UTC 
In bug 2170842 it was uncovered that users are able to install LibreOffice through GNOME Software on aarch64 even though the LibreOffice is shipped without GUI to cover only headless use-cases (on s390x as well) as opposed to other architectures that contain the GUI as well. The .desktop files on aarch64 and s390x contain "NoDisplay=true" in the .desktop files which generally should be enough for appstream-builder to not populate the metadata that are later used in GNOME Software for the applications availability. The problem as uncovered by Richard is that currently appstream-data is build as a noarch package - https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/rpms/appstream-data/-/blob/e9fd1ad9a6cdc300be95c8fcf5322305f2d4f1f3/appstream-data.spec#L9 - so it doesn't have any notion about these arch specific differences. The solution might be to build appstream-data as a archful package which has its downsides as well.
Comment 1 Richard Hughes 2023-03-03 11:23:02 UTC 
FWIW, the downside seems to be 4x the download, storage size and processing time for metadata regeneration -- but is probably the correct fix. We should probably do the same thing for Fedora too.
