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

[Steve Langasek]

Bug #1003100 shows that the test case for this bug was flawed; it tested
that the file was a valid translated desktop file, but did not test that
the file could be post-parsed by the python code.

A more complete test case would require installing a hook in /usr/share
/package-data-downloads/ that fails.  But in this case, I think it's
sufficient to get confirmation that the package fixes bug #1003100 for
the submitter.

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
