[Bug 1983307] Re: Can't load addons list in a non-English locale (already fixed upstream)

@xalt7x the packages in the following ppa fix the issue for me in a
french VM

https://launchpad.net/~rikmills/+archive/ubuntu/bug1983307

it would good but not essential if you could confirm before we proceed

** Description changed:

+ [Impact]
+ 
+  * Users expect to be able to download additional assets (icons/themes
+ etc) from store.kde.org via the built in "get new stuff" integration in
+ systemsettings and discover.
+ 
+  * Currently several categories are broken for users of a non-Eglish
+ locale, whereby the list of available items does not load, but instead a
+ "Unknown Open Collaboration Service API error. (0)." message is
+ displayed
+ 
+ [Test Plan]
+ 
+  * In an non English locale system try various getnewstuff categories to
+ identify one impacted by the bug.
+ 
+  * Install the updated packages.
+ 
+  * Test that the integration now works
+ 
+  * Additionally if possible test that integration in an English based
+ locale still works.
+ 
+ [Where problems could occur]
+ 
+  * English locales could break. Not likely from the code, but these must
+ be checked. getnewstuff categories previously unaffected could break, so
+ some checking here is also important.
+

+ **** original bug text ****

+ 
  When Kubuntu 22.04.1 is set on a non-English locale (like Ukrainian) it's currently impossible to download addons (widgets, themes, scripts etc) with a built-in "Get new..." downloader in a System Settings.
  User receives error "Unknown Open Collaboration Service API error. (0)."
  Current workaround is to force systemsettings to English locale (e.g. with "LANG=en_US systemsettings" on a terminal).
  Bug is already fixed upstream in KDE Framework 5.93 and fix probably could be backported to KDE Framework 5.92
