No. I just tested and everything's perfectly fine. I think your installation
is broken. I have some weird "no description available" packages too. If
I'm reading the codes right, I think mine are "unpacked; not installed." I
didn't see a guide to the status codes in man dpkg, and I don't have time to
look. I'm not sure what the unusual codes actually mean as far as the
ultimate state of these packages (looks like something is in transition), but
one way or the other, it's obvious that my current state of affairs is quite
different from yours.
It looks like you need to update/upgrade to get where I am now. Maybe that
will fix something by magic.
Here are my packages:
