[Bug 1978301] Re: Broken contact URL in German translation

[Steve Langasek]

The refactor of apport-gtk in the jammy queue includes this change:

-            if not isinstance(text, bytes):
-                text = text.encode('UTF-8')

This code is not included in the refactored function.  Why is it safe to
drop this code?

** Changed in: apport (Ubuntu Jammy)
       Status: Confirmed => Incomplete

Title:
  Broken contact URL in German translation

Status in Apport:
  Fix Released
Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in apport source package in Jammy:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Impact
  ------

  All German users (and all translations that use "%s." in their
  translation template) will get a broken URL link for bug reports
  against snaps (e.g. Firefox).

  Test Case
  ---------

  1. Execute following command: LANGUAGE=de ubuntu-bug firefox
  2. Click on the URL
  3. A browser window should open and not display a 404 page

  Regression Potential
  --------------------

  Since there was no test case for converting text to HTML before this
  fix, there might be some URLs that will become broken by this fix.

  Original Description
  --------------------

  "LANGUAGE=de ubuntu-bug firefox" end up in a dialog saying:

  firefox wird durch einen von mozilla veröffentlichten Snap
  bereitgestellt. Für Hilfe gehen Sie über
  https://support.mozilla.org/kb/file-bug-report-or-feature-request-
  mozilla.

  The dot at the end is included in the URL link. The dot makes the URL
  link broken. The regular expression in gtk/apport-gtk for http URLs
  should become smarter.
