During a test upgrade to UCS-5 the following error is shown:

The lines of that section are indented by one space instead of starting in the first column directly.

The ConfigParser of Python3 is more strict and forbids this. This might also happen in UCS-4.4 were certain parts of the code already use Python3 or the backport of its ConfigParser.

The AppCenter-Portal (or whatever) should validate the data and use the strict mode for that.
