Current evaluation

Reporter says they changed a snap's icon but Ubuntu Software still shows the old one. One-line report with no snap name, snapcraft.yaml, .desktop file, logs or repro steps; zero labels and zero maintainer comments since Sept 2022.

Suggested action: needs triage

Reason: The body is only "Changed the icon. Ubuntu Software is not showing the new icon." — there is no snap name, project file, desktop entry, or log, and the issue has zero labels, zero comments, and no maintainer response, so it has never been assessed. Repo docs already document the two likely causes (the .desktop `Icon=` key is separate from the `icon:` key and must point at the new file, per docs/how-to/crafting/configure-package-information.rst, and `snap/gui/` contents are copied to `meta/gui/`), which means this is very likely a per-snap configuration question rather than a Snapcraft defect, but there is not enough evidence to close it as such. A maintainer needs to ask which snap and how the icon/desktop entry is configured.
