Gnome-Software 3.22.1 seems completely broken

Using Gnome-Software 3.22.1, I first noticed that packagekit is no longer a dependency...which seems odd unless they are wanting us to use solely flatpak from here on out. As far as I know, without packagekit we cannot install or update any archlinux packages.

Further, even with packagekit installed, it isn't showing me any available packages outside of the ones I already have installed. Thus, it is completely broken as an app-store.

Lastly, whenever I try to add a program to an app-folder Gnome-Software segfaults and completely closes. This is worse behavior than in 3.20 when app-folders simply didn't work at all (but didn't crash).

I'd be curious to  know how much of these issues are upstream Gnome, vs our implementation. Because as of now, Gnome-Software is completely broken

I don't really know what I'm doing.

I'm using 3.20 now and Software works just fine regarding app-folders.

They were broken in 3.20 originally, but this was fixed later in one of the 3.20.x releases
