Bug Description

Whenever I view a Flatpak package in gnome-software, an in-app notification appears saying:

> Sorry, something went wrong
> Got unknown content type text/html from reviews.ubuntu.com

Since this is modal, I then need to dismiss it before being able to do anything else.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

I submitted a patch for the ubuntu-reviews plugin within GNOME Software, https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-software/merge_requests/11, which has now been merged by Robert. Hopefully this fix will now make it into a stable ubuntu release (18.04?).

This bug has been fixed with gnome-sofware 3.28, which is found in Ubuntu 18.04 (bionic).

I don't have permission to nominate this bug for the series artful so don't want to close this myself, is someone with permission able to set gnome-software (ubuntu) as fixed released and nominate this for artful?
