Bug#717254: "apt-cache show <package>" shows Description-md5 field twice
Package: apt
Version: 0.9.9.2
Severity: normal
The "apt-cache show <package>" command shows the Description-md5 field twice:
------
$ apt-cache show dpkg
Package: at
[...]
Description-en: Delayed job execution and batch processing
[...]
batch to run the job when system load levels permit
Description-md5: 97e204a9f4ad8c681dbd54ec7c505251
Multi-Arch: foreign
Description-md5: 97e204a9f4ad8c681dbd54ec7c505251
Tag: admin::automation, implemented-in::c, interface::daemon, role::program,
scope::utility, use::timekeeping
[...]
----
It doesn't happen for all packages, for example for "apt" there's just one
Description-md5 field.
The field is present only once in the Packages index.
