Dear Maintainer,

I installed Debian 13.1 on my Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 15AMN8 via the official
.iso. I opened Settings to remove an app's ability to play in the background
and noticed that the apps section in Settings shows no apps. This is true for
those installed from the Debian repository and Flatpak.

I tried closing and opening Settings, installing new apps, both .deb and
Flatpak, and updating and upgrading the system to no avail. I assume this is
not working as intended as apps showed up in this section previously.

It seems that malcontent needs to be installed for GNOME Settings to
display
apps properly. I propose we make malcontent (not malcontent-gui) a
dependency of gnome-control-
center.
