Package: dselect
Version: 1.16.9
Severity: important

Hi,

I did a clean install from wheezy DI beta4, then installed dselect
via apt-get install dselect.

When I started dselect on the linux console, the lower pane did not show
the extended description.  Only the package name and its brief
description are shown, the remainder of the lower pane is filled with
whitespace.

I tried using the "i" command to toggle the verbosity of the display in
the lower pane, the dependency information is then cycled through as
occurs normally, however, the extended description is not included in
any of the cycled through displays.

The only locale that I have installed is en_us.utf8, and I have not made
any other configuration changes after the install.

Note, I am submitting this bug from my squeeze system, however, this bug
is against the wheezy version.

Thanks,

Jeffrey Sheinberg
