Bug#179320: dselect: loops when selecting package with very long description
Package: dselect
Version: 1.10.9
Severity: normal
Having built an unofficial package of `rezound', every time I select
it, dselect goes into an infinite loop (well, I waited 5 minutes for
it to end).
The description is very long and contains line widths >80 characters.
Here is the verbatim description. You can test it by putting
deb http://people.debian.org/~calvin/ ./
in your sources.list, update, and select the rezound package.
