[Bug 1921178] Re: stop trying to send data to Ubuntu's inactive server

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package popularity-contest - 1.70ubuntu2

---------------
popularity-contest (1.70ubuntu2) hirsute; urgency=medium

  [ Tiago Sturmer Daitx ]
  * Drop all previous Ubuntu changes (LP: #1921178).
    - debian/po: Steve Langasek double-checked to make sure
      we weren't regressing translation support by restoring
      the original strings. Thanks!
  * README: remove Ubuntu URL as its popcon server is
    no longer maintained.
  * defaults.conf: leave SUBMITURLS and MAILTO empty so
    no references to Ubuntu's popcon server shows up in the
    default conf and comment out MAILTO to leave it unset.
  * debian/control: package description to disclose that
    Ubuntu is no longer collecting statistics.
  * debian/postinst:
    - remove popcon.ubuntu.com URL from SUBMITURLS.
    - remove popcon at ubuntu.com from MAILTO.
    - remove popcon.ubuntu.com URL if set in debconf.
  * debian/cron.daily: log when URL contains popcon.ubuntu.com
    or if MAILTO contains popcon at ubuntu.com and also filter
    them out from processing.

  The backend for popcon.ubuntu.com has been broken for some time and
