[Bug 1978487] Re: attach_journal_errors is causing a ValueError crash

[Benjamin Drung]

I tried to reproduce this failure with following python snippet in a
kinetic schroot:

```python
#!/usr/bin/python3
import datetime
date = 'Sun Jun 12 19:52:55 2022'
print(datetime.datetime.strptime(date, '%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y'))
```

Regardless how I call this script, it always succeeds to parse the date
string. Example:

```
$ env -i LANGUAGE=nb_NO:nb:no_NO:no:nn_NO:nn:en LANG=nb_NO.UTF-8 ./test.py 
2022-06-12 19:52:55
$ env -i LANGUAGE=C LANG=C.UTF-8 ./test.py 
2022-06-12 19:52:55
$ env -i ./test.py 
2022-06-12 19:52:55
```

Python's _strptime checks that the provided data_string is an instance
of str. passing a wrong type to strptime can be ruled out as well.
