Hello Maybe you know, we started with the translation of all debian package descriptions. Also we make daily new packages files with the translated descriptions (all other tags are the same). A user can add this packages files to his /etc/apt/sources.list and can use the translated description. But I get a bug report today, and I don't understand apt. Maybe someone can help... first the bug report: The user have add the translated apt source to his sources.list file (deb http://gluck.debian.org/~grisu/ddts/aptable de/sid main) and have mc installed. Package: mc Status: install ok installed Version: 4.5.54-1.1 Package: gmc Status: install ok installed Version: 4.5.54-1.1 Now he make (with LANG=de_DE, sorry): apt-get upgrade && apt-get upgrade Reading Package Lists...

If he remove the apt source with the translated package file, he don't have this problem. Can someone explain this behavior? Is this a bug in the package file, in the release file (this is only a copy from ftp.debian.org) or a bug/feature in APT or dpkg?
