[Bug 2122357] Re: Dialog not opening after selecting "Other" for Ubuntu Software source

[Erich Eickmeyer]

I'd have a merge proposal ready, but git upload is being a pain.

** Patch added: "port-qt-DialogMirror.py-to-Qt6.patch"
   https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/questing/+source/software-properties/+bug/2122357/+attachment/5908283/+files/port-qt-DialogMirror.py-to-Qt6.patch

** Description changed:

+ [Impact]
+ 
+ Users are unable to select alternative mirrors under Software Sources
+ for Kubuntu, Lubuntu, and Ubuntu Studio which use software-properties-
+ qt. As it turns out, this is because DialogMirror.py was never ported to
+ Qt6.
+ 
+ [Test Plan]
+ 
  Steps to reproduce.
  
  1) Go to "Software Sources"
  2) Go to "Ubuntu Software" tab
  3) On the "Download from:" field select the option "Other..." in the dropdown.
  
  Expected result: A dialog opens which allows selecting a mirror.
  Actual result: "Software Sources" tab freezes for ~1 second and the dialog is not opened.
+ 
+ [What problems could occur]
+ 
+ There may be more issues that could occur, such as other fields being
+ incomplete, but this has been well-tested.
+ 
+ [Original Report Information]
