Bug#666134: apt: (Long-)Description not shown for foreign-architecture packages
Package: apt
Version: 0.8.15.10
Severity: minor
Hi,
I found a minor (rather cosmetic) issue with Descriptions and Multi-Arch:
when listing foreign-architecture packages, the Description can not be found
(when using the "new" Translation files)
I guess it tries to find a section with "Package: XXX:ARCH" instead of
"Package: XXX".
For example:
tim@rohan:~$ apt-cache show libc6/testing
Package: libc6
Source: eglibc
Version: 2.13-27
Installed-Size: 9497
Maintainer: GNU Libc Maintainers <debian-glibc@lists.debian.org>

Description-de: Die »Embedded GNU C Library«: Laufzeitbibliotheken
Enthält die Standardbibliotheken, die von nahezu allen Programmen im
System verwendet werden. Dieses Paket enthält dynamische Versionen der
Standard-C-Bibliothek und der Standard-Math-Bibliothek, sowie vieler
anderer.
