[Bug 1864635] Re: "Steam Installer" not available in Software app since latest Steam update

[AsciiWolf]

I think I have found what caused the issue.

This is a diff between the old and new AppStream metadata file from
steam-installer package:

The problem seems to be with "<launchable type="desktop-
id">steam.desktop</launchable>" that points to a desktop file not
present in the package. I would try removing this line.
