[Jaunty] cups-bsd and cups-common - invalid Polish description causes package managers to fail

[Daniel Jelinski]

Binary package hint: cups-bsd

update-apt-xapian-index fails on Polish Ubuntu because it cannot parse Translation-pl file.

Translation-pl contains the following entries:

Package: cups-bsd
Description-md5: 1893a216cc0bede79f8972608e6013bd
Description-pl: Copy text
Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - polecenia BSD
 The Common UNIX Printing System (or CUPS(tm)) is a printing system and
 general replacement for lpr, lpd and the like. It supports the Internet
 Printing Protocol (IPP), and has its own filtering driver model for
 handling various document types.
 .
 This package provides the BSD commands for interacting with CUPS. It is
 provided separately to allow CUPS to coexist with other printing systems
 (to a small degree).

They are malformed - each new line of description should begin with a space.

This is just another duplicate of #321395 - which is private, so I couldn't post it there.

This is caused by a bug in the Polish package descriptions Translation file (see bug 378075) and is not a bug in adept, apt-xapian-index, cups or synaptic, therefore marking as a duplicate of the mentioned bug. Please look at the other bug report for a workaround for the bug. Additionally, any further discussion regarding the bug should occur in the other report. Feel free to continue to report any other bugs you may find.
