Title:
  Solver evaluation fails to multiline-escape multi-line errors

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The solver evaluation embeds the error messages in ErrorMessage in the
  crash report. It failed to escape multi-line messages, leading to
  invalid deb822 and hence failures in apport/whoopsie processing the
  crash report; for example:

  ProblemType: AptSolver
  Architecture: amd64
  Date: Wed Mar 26 16:41:34 2025
  Package: apt
  Title: Failure: The 3.0 solver did not find a result
  SourcePackage: apt
  ErrorMessage:
   Unable to satisfy dependencies. Reached two conflicting decisions:
  1. a:amd64=3 is selected for install

  2. a:amd64 Depends c
     but none of the choices are installable:
     - c:amd64 is not selected for install
