[Touch-packages] [Bug 1486061] Re: Long descriptions missing from apt cache - affects software-center etc
I've had a look into this and it seems that if I take the latest version of apt in wily and apply the changes as set out in https://github.com/Debian/apt/commit/8965b2f8e6738463c20f69e76ba888a8d77225e3 then I consistently get all descriptions showing both in English and other languages. I don't know the apt codebase, nor do I know c++, so this should be looked over by someone with a bit more knowledge. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apt in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1486061 Title: Long descriptions missing from apt cache - affects software-center etc Status in apt package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: apt 1.0.9.10ubuntu6 and 1.0.9.10ubuntu7 - ubuntu wily It appears that on wily the long package descriptions are missing from the apt-cache.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1396553] Re: No rating and 0 reviews shown for all applications in the dash
This has been broken for quite a while - there are two parts to this: --> UNITY_LENS_APPLICATIONS Unity-lens-applications reads a Berkeley DB file which is generated by software-center. The filename contains the version number of libdb. In February 2012 the transition [0] to libdb5.1 was done, in November 2013 there was a transition [1] to libdb5.3, but the filename was not updated, which means that since then the source code of unity-lens-applications had had a wrong filename in line 42 of src/unity-ratings-db.c [2]. [0] http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~unity-team/unity-lens-applications/trunk/revision/17.1.166 [1] http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~unity-team/unity-lens-applications/trunk/revision/375 [2] http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~unity-team/unity-lens-applications/trunk/view/head:/src/unity-ratings-db.c --> SOFTWARE_CENTER Upon launching software-center, software-center generates a file for unity-lens-applications to read. For at least a year, if not multiple years, software-center crashes whilst trying to generate this db. The crash occurs in line 336 of [3] with "DBInvalidArgError: (22, 'Invalid argument -- BDB0054 illegal flag combination specified to DB_ENV->open')". Experimentation seems to show that removing the "|bdb.DB_NOMMAP" stops this crash. The NOMMAP flag was introduced in [4], but I don't know enough about the Berkeley DB format to know why the NOMMAP flag should or shouldn't be in use. The internet seems to describe the flag as "Always copy read-only database files in this environment into the local cache instead of potentially mapping them into process memory". I couldn't pull up any other illegal flag combinations using NOMMAP errors besides software-center.
