2015-09-23 14:10:20 Kiwinote description 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.

As a result of this bug things like software center aren't showing package descriptions. apt 1.0.9.10ubuntu6 and 1.0.9.10ubuntu7 - ubuntu wily It appears that on wily the long package descriptions are missing from the apt-cache. As a result of this bug full package descriptions are missing (amongst others) in software-center, update-manager, synaptic etc. 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.
