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.
