Comment 9 for bug 1974196

We have tested the proposed patched version 2.4.7 against the current release version 2.4.5 posted at the above launchpad link via bug reproduction and general package installation process via standard cli and via python bindings and have no adverse observations.

We have also tested against a package we built from the accepted source and the upstream salsa.debian.org source

Test environment:
root@test100:/home/sre# lsb_release -a
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
Release: 22.04
Codename: jammy

Test Cases for both versions 2.4.5 and 2.4.7:
1. Manual APT Bash CLI
2. SaltStack 3004.2 via APT Python bindings

Current release version 2.4.5:
