** Summary changed:

- xiterm+thai installed by default in Ubuntu 20.04 (Australian Locale)
+ apport-gtk and apport-kde install xiterm+thai as dependency (x-terminal-emulator)

** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  
   * When installing apport-gtk (or apport-kde) on a non-GUI installation (cloud image, server image) as a dependency providing x-terminal-emulator xiterm+thai package is pulled in, which is not appropriate for most locales.
  My understanding is it was selected due to lowest number of unsatisfied dependencies.
  
  [Test Case]
  
   * lxc launch ubuntu:20.04 test
   * lxc shell test
   * apt update
   * apt install apport-gtk
-  * Examine the packages listed to be installed: xiterm+thai should be among them.
+  * Examine the packages listed to be installed: xiterm+thai is one of them.
  
  [Regression Potential]
  
   * In dedicated archive mirrors with limited number of packages changing
  that may cause errors due to packages missing in the archive. However,
  that's unlikely.
  
  [Other Info]
  
-  * It is not affecting bionic, since x-terminal-emulator is listed as 'Suggests' not 'Depends' there.
+  * It is not affecting bionic, since x-terminal-emulator is listed as 'Suggests' not 'Depends' there.
   * Original bug description:
  
  Vanilla install of Ubuntu 20.04 set to an Australian locale includes the "Thai X Terminal" package.
  This package should not be included.
  
  I noticed that it is also reported against Xubuntu and Lubuntu:
