User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: pu
X-Debbugs-Cc: appstream-glib@packages.debian.org
Control: affects -1 + src:appstream-glib

[ Reason ]
Recent server-side changes on flathub.org mean that it started publishing
Appstream metadata that appstream-glib doesn't understand (<em> and <code>
markup), and appstream-glib is intolerant of non-recognised markup in
this context, causing `flatpak search` to regress in bullseye. (#1037206)

[ Impact ]
If not fixed, `flatpak search` will show an error message for Flathub
users and not offer any search results, unless the user upgrades to
the version from bullseye-backports (which is unaffected by appstream-glib
bugs because it has switched to using libappstream, a different codebase).

[ Tests ]
I confirmed that this fixes the reproducer from #1037206.

bullseye's gnome-software, which uses appstream-glib, is still able
to display search results from both Debian (I searched for amoebax)
and Flathub (I searched for steamlink and organicmaps). The package
description for organicmaps, which includes <em> and therefore triggered
this bug, is not displayed correctly in gnome-software (text inside <em>
doesn't appear), but that isn't a regression: the same behaviour is seen
without this change.

The patches also add a regression test, which is run at build-time
and passes.

[ Risks ]
These are straightforward backports from the newer upstream release in
bookworm, and have also been proposed for an Ubuntu 22.04 stable update.
The original change introduced a test failure, for which the subsequent
upstream fix is also included.

I've marked this as moreinfo because it should ideally be reviewed by the
package's maintainer (not me).

[ Checklist ]
  [x] *all* changes are documented in the d/changelog
  [x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
  [x] attach debdiff against the package in (old)stable
  [x] the issue is verified as fixed in unstable

[ Changes ]
All changes are part of solving #1037206.
