2011-10-21 07:27:28 Michael Nelson description Currently we import all of the package data from the package cache for each series, using python apt (which rocks!). It seems that some packages in Oneiric now have language-specific fields such as Description-en (and don't have a Description field) [1] For these packages we currently end up with a blank description. This seems to be because our server runs on lucid, and the lucid version of the python apt doesn't handle the language-specific fields whereas the oneiric python apt does [2]. I'm not sure if there is a way with the lucid version of python apt that we can work around this, or whether we need to backport/install a custom version on the server. I assume there will be a way to work around it (and mvo will know it :) ).
