Comment 15 for bug 584147

The bug is not in in Software Center, the Package Description provided by Launchpad are wrong.

The Description in the package itself is correct (bullets are indented by an extra space):
    wget -O- http://ppa.launchpad.net/stellarium/stellarium-testing/ubuntu/pool/main/s/stellarium/stellarium_0.10.6~bzr4813-0ubuntu1ppa1~maverick1_amd64.deb >/tmp/foo.deb; dpkg -I /tmp/foo.deb

The Description from Launchpad is wrong (bullets are indented by an extra space):
    wget -O- http://ppa.launchpad.net/stellarium/stellarium-testing/ubuntu/dists/maverick/main/binary-i386/Packages

A more recent example:
OK:
    wget -O /tmp/foo.deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/gedit-bc-dev-plugins/releases/ubuntu/pool/main/g/gedit-projects/gedit-projects_1.0_all.deb; dpkg -I /tmp/foo.deb
Wrong:
    wget -O- http://ppa.launchpad.net/gedit-bc-dev-plugins/releases/ubuntu/dists/oneiric/main/binary-amd64/Packages

Some software on Launchpad incorrectly strips spaces before bullet list. That confuses software that formats descriptions like Software Center and Aptitude. Synaptic is not affected because it does not format the description but display it as plain text.
