Last character in short description missing (wajig commands: describe, new, ...)

[Chris Peach]

*What steps will reproduce the problem?*
1. running Ubuntu precise 12.04

2. affected versions: 2.2 from this repo, 2.3 (trunk) from the Mercurial repo at code.google.com

3. How to reproduce the bug:

   wajig describe bash
   (or any package name)

4. *What is the expected output? What do you see instead?*

- Expected output [as in JIG 2.0]:

Package Description
========================-===================================================
bash Gnu bourne again shell

- Actual output [from JIG 2.2 or 2.3]:

Package Description
========================-===================================================
bash Gnu bourne again shel

So the short description misses the last character.

5. *What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?*

The problem occurs with the latest version in HG (version 2.3) as well as with the DEB (version 2.2) in the Ubuntu 12.04 repository. I guess Ubuntu 11.10 is also affected. I am runnung Ubuntu 12.04.

The problem does not occur with --verbose=1.

6. *Solution:*

The use of the find() method was awkward. I am not sure why it produces unexpected results in Python 3. My patch uses split() instead. No worries; it is fast. I do not know why you use capitalize() here, but I have left it in place.

Thanks for your work. You are the first contributor to a project I
maintain, ever.

I've pushed the change to the VCS repo. I don't know when the release
will be available though, but it will definitely be before Debian
freezes (June this year).

[Tshepang Lekhonkhobe (tshepang)]

I will get rid of "capitalize" method too. It's just extraneous.

wajig 2.3 is now available from Debian
