No, it's not. I can trace thru the parsing, and the ldesc is properly loaded into a std::string, as expected (both paragraphs).
but you are making your ldesc's too wordy. It should just be a couple of sentences, not an advertisement for or against the use of the package.
OK. When possible, I typically go by whatever mandriva's 'urpmi -q' tells me, and those can get pretty long winded -- even moreso than I normally am. I n this case, however, the various *nixes seem to have standardized on very fine-grained packages for the inetutils services: rshd, rsh, telnet, telnetd, etc, all in their own, private rpm. Since we're not doing that here, I couldn't rely on my 'urpmi -q' crutch.
I'll just go with the first paragraph. -- Chuck
