I frequently see this problem on Kubuntu Feisty. For example I open adept and type in "ardour" in the top search box. I see 5 ardour packages, but the 2nd of them "ardour-gtk" has a bad short description: "d on a large". Expanding the ardour-gtk item I see the following longer description
"Terminates connections for idle users. Autolog terminates connections considered to be idle based on a large variety of parameters." So this seems to be the description belonging to autolog and the short description is the end of the second line of text. The package info on the right shows Maintainer="Paul Telford" (maintainer of autolog), but candidate version = 0.99.3-1 (the version of ardour-gtk). Pressing "Fetch updates" clears up the problem, but something's screwy clearly. -- Package descriptions are sometimes incorrect and do not match descriptions stored in the package database https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/68949 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
