It should definitely have parsed it as {'Description-da': ': Islamic hijri date and prayer time utilities'} instead of {'Description-da:': 'Islamic hijri date and prayer time utilities'} > PS: If you regard this problem as to different from the previousely > reported one I can open a new bug report. Both the apt_pkg implementation and the standard message library parse it as the first dict above, so I regard this as a bug in the native deb822 parser. Would you mind opening a new bug to track this? (I don't mind opening it if you don't get to it, but I probably won't get to it for a couple of days.) In the meantime, if you have python-apt installed, and you're using deb822.Deb822.iter_paragraphs (without a use_apt_pkg=False argument) to iterate through all of the paragraphs in the Translation file, you shouldn't hit this. -- John Wright <j...@debian.org> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
