Public bug reported: software-center extends paragraphs across empty lines whenever the preceding line does not end with a full stop or semi-colon or other punctuation. To reproduce this bug download the attached package, testpara_1.0-1_all.deb, and open it in software-center. The description should be displayed as follows:
--- First paragraph. On recent Debian and Ubuntu 64-bit distributions this package requires multiarch to be enabled before it can be installed. To ensure this is the case run the following commands as root first: sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 sudo apt-get update --- But instead the two sudo lines are put on one line and thus rendered meaningless: --- [...] sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 sudo apt-get update --- I'm also attaching: * A tar file containing the source for the test package. * A screenshot showing the description being rendered incorrectly in software-center, and correctly in gdebi-gtk.
