Devuan Excalibur KDE Plasma fresh install - Discover AWOL.

So, new install as per subject, AMD64. I tried to follow the last post on this thread to get Discover working:

https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=4726

I am getting the following messages:

Unable to load applications. Please verify internet connectivity.

Under installed:

Nothing found.

Under all applications + every category including system settings:

Nothing found.

Only application addons and Plasma addons works with lists of things to install and icons.

As per the instructions, I installed Components-amd64.yml.gz both for "main" and for "non-free-firmware". I also installed the icons as per the instructions.

Note that the icons-64x64.tar.gz package for "non-free-firmware" did not appear to have any contents.

Lastly, I ran:

appstreamcli refresh-cache --force

as per instructions. Sooo. Does anyone have an idea of how I can get Discover working?

I should also note that there doesn't appear to be anyplace available in Discover where flatpak can be enabled, as in other KDE Plasma distros...

I just enable flatpak from the cli and included the discover flatpak integration. Now flatpaks appear in all categories, however installed programs and available programs to be installed still do not appear.
