Public bug reported: apt 1.0.9.10ubuntu6 - ubuntu wily
It appears that on wily the long package descriptions are missing from the apt-cache. The files like /var/lib/apt/lists/archive.ubuntu .com_ubuntu_dists_wily_universe_i18n_Translation-en do exist with a recent timestamp, so it looks the downloading of the translations has taken place. Using the python bindings cache['gimp'].candidate.description returns an empty string. Apt-cache also seems to be missing the 'Description-en' key: $ apt-cache show gimp Package: gimp Priority: optional Section: graphics Installed-Size: 15538 Maintainer: Ubuntu Developers <ubuntu-devel-disc...@lists.ubuntu.com> Original-Maintainer: Ari Pollak <a...@debian.org> Architecture: amd64 Version: 2.8.14-1ubuntu2 Replaces: gimp-plugin-registry (<< 4.20120506) Provides: gimp-python Depends: libgimp2.0 (>= 2.8.14), libgimp2.0 (<= 2.8.14-z), gimp-data (>= 2.8.14), gimp-data (<= 2.8.14-z), python-gtk2 (>= 2.8.0), libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 (>= 2.24.1), libaa1 (>= 1.4p5), libbabl-0.1-0 (>= 0.1.10), libbz2-1.0, libc6 (>= 2.15), libcairo2 (>= 1.10.2), libdbus-1-3 (>= 1.0.2), libdbus-glib-1-2 (>= 0.88), libexif12 (>= 0.6.21-1~), libfontconfig1 (>= 2.9.0), libfreetype6 (>= 2.2.1), libgegl-0.3-0 (>= 0.3.0), libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.41.1), libgs9 (>= 8.61.dfsg.1), libgtk2.0-0 (>= 2.24.10), libgudev-1.0-0 (>= 146), libjasper1, libjpeg8 (>= 8c), liblcms2-2 (>= 2.2+git20110628), libmng2 (>= 1.0.10), libpango-1.0-0 (>= 1.29.4), libpangocairo-1.0-0 (>= 1.29.4), libpangoft2-1.0-0 (>= 1.29.4), libpng12-0 (>= 1.2.13-4), libpoppler-glib8 (>= 0.18.0), librsvg2-2 (>= 2.14.4), libtiff5 (>= 4.0.3), libwmf0.2-7 (>= 0.2.8.4), libx11-6, libxcursor1 (>> 1.1.2), libxext6, libxfixes3, libxmu6, libxpm4, zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.4), python:any (>= 2.6.6-7~), python2.7 Recommends: ghostscript Suggests: gimp-help-en | gimp-help, gimp-data-extras, gvfs-backends, libasound2 Breaks: gimp-plugin-registry (<< 4.20120506) Filename: pool/main/g/gimp/gimp_2.8.14-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb Size: 3476280 MD5sum: d33d0d48362d03767f486185fa3e21cf SHA1: 8f65b842f5ec4a07b8ebf71c13ed9f97ed886474 SHA256: 92eebf090c4f7f7e7ec5d9a06f3fe34f35221c44602d290201b05aa73b2ff2e1 Description: The GNU Image Manipulation Program Description-md5: ad6dd18a09fb86ea4529ac53f33168b9 Homepage: http://www.gimp.org/ Bugs: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug Origin: Ubuntu Supported: 9m Task: ubuntu-usb, edubuntu-desktop-gnome, edubuntu-usb, ubuntustudio-publishing, ubuntustudio-photography, ubuntustudio-graphics I hit bug #1485970 last night, so I might have upset apt whilst trying to resolve the breakage, but at the moment everything minus the long descriptions seems to be working fine.
