Editra : description mistake, then missing description

[Baronsed]

I had a look at the package description on packages.ubuntu.com and it turns out that in Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid) the description is wrong, indeed (it should read "syntax highlighting and *a* variety of...", see
 <http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/editra>);
however, in the latest Ubuntu version, it even does not show (see
<http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/editra>).
A look at the "control" file (the one containing the package description and a list of all dependencies) reveals that an extra comma has been added at the end of the "Depends:" line.

(I copied out a message which Alessandro Menti sent me when we raised these bugs on Editra)

The description not appearing in the overview on precise isn't a bug, Ubuntu decided to not include the long description in the package archive anymore.

Since we take editra unmodified from debian, it makes more sense to open a report in their bugtracker, see http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting

Thanks for reporting.

I found that this issue is still present in editra 0.7.20+dfsg.1-3 on Ubuntu Artful, so I've forwarded it to Debian.
