Public bug reported:
Since having upgraded to 15.10, aptitude doesn't display long package
descriptions any more. If I select a package in the tree and press
enter, the display looks like this:
=====
Actions Undo Package Resolver Search Options Views Help
Packages
acpi-support info
aptitude 0.7.3
i --\ acpi-support
0.142 0.142
Description: scripts for handling many ACPI events
Priority: optional
Section: admin
Maintainer: Ubuntu Core developers <ubuntu-devel-disc...@lists.ubuntu.com>
Architecture: amd64
Compressed Size: 10,2 k
=====
Normally, there should be a "long" package description between the lines
"Description" and "Priority".
In comparison, apt-cache show acpi-support shows the long description as
set in my locale:
=====

SHA256: 846df5a0f64ce7c6c06c0da93996b169e7e737a520baa39e3c6904bf13e62c52
Description-en_GB: Scripts for handling many ACPI events
This package contains scripts to react to various ACPI events. It only
includes scripts for events that can be supported with some level of
[...]
(snip)
=====
apt-config dump shows
=====
Acquire::Languages "";
Acquire::Languages:: "en_GB";
Acquire::Languages:: "en";
Acquire::Languages:: "none";
Acquire::Languages:: "de";
=====
I'd expect aptitude to also show the en_GB translation of the long
description.
Translation files seem to be there:
