[Impact]
In bug 1161743 we discovered that if a system is configured with multiple locales, only the locales of the user who generated the apt-cache will be available for translated descriptions.

So far so good, but now assume the root user actually has C configured as locale, and e.g. runs apt-cache show (or apt-daily.service does an update):

This should show the sv locale as well given that it's still around, but it only generated the cache with the english language description in here.

Unknown so far, we've not investigated the cause or solution yet.

[Impact]
In bug 1161743 we discovered that if a system is configured with multiple locales, only the locales of the user who generated the apt-cache will be available for translated descriptions.
[Test case]
An automated test case has been included as a snippet in test/integration/test-bug-490000-search-in-all-translations which runs during autopkgtest. That's sufficient for validation.

[Where problems could occur]
People might end up seeing a wrong translation if other code paths are wrong, but then they'd already see them if they explicitly configured multiple languages and then switched the preferred one. |
