[Bug 993672] Re: Ships malformed interactive upgrade hook which causes translations to be shown in the dialog

[Torsten Casselt]

Still not in the updates for Kubuntu. Window appears on every boot after
every update of flashplugin-nonfree.

WORKAROUND (to be repeated after every update):

sudo rm /var/lib/update-notifier/user.d/data-downloads-failed
sudo rm /var/lib/update-notifier/user.d/data-downloads-failed-permanently

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  The package-data-downloads-failed and package-data-downloads-failed-permanently interactive upgrade hooks shipped with update-notifier-common are malformed. In each file, the internationalized Name fields of every supported language are scrunched up in to one line. This breaks the Kubuntu upgrade hook notifier, making the window extremely large.

  [Test case]
  1. Run sudo cp /usr/share/update-notifier/package-data-downloads-failed /var/lib/update-notifier/user.d/
  2. Verify that the notification which appears is malformed
  3. Upgrade to the update-notifier-common package from precise-proposed
  4. Run the command from step 1 again
  5. Verify that the notification which appears is correctly formed, and in your configured language
