I use iso dvd images mounted in loop to keep updated Wheezy, my
sources.list:

I added 20language file to /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ directory in order to

When I show details of a package with apt-cache command I got a short
description of the searched package. It seems that english translation

So I try to copy Translation-en file from the first loop mounted dvd
iso image (dvd-1) to /var/lib/apt/lists directory (renamed
opportunely) and translations are shown:
# cd /var/lib/apt/lists
/var/lib/apt/lists# cp

Description-en: pager program similar to more
This package provides "less", a file pager (that is, a memory-efficient
utility for displaying text one screenful at a time). Less has many
more features than the basic pager "more". As part of the GNU project,
it is widely regarded as the standard pager on UNIX-derived systems.
.
Also provided are "lessecho", a simple utility for ensuring arguments
with spaces are correctly quoted; "lesskey", a tool for modifying the
standard (vi-like) keybindings; and "lesspipe", a filter for specific
types of input, such as .doc or .txt.gz files.

Briefly, archives gets with "file" URI in sources.list they are missing
of Translation-en.gz files in "/var/lib/apt/list" directory, while
archives gets with "http" URI they have Translation-en and
description-en are shown regularly. Therefore is it known behavior of
the "file" URI? How can I enable Description-en gets via "file" URI
without copy those Translation-en.gz files by hand?
Thank you very much for your attention.
Regards.
