Hi, this is not really good:
peter% fink-virtual-pkgs Package: cctools Status: install ok installed Version: 519-1 compilescript: #!/bin/sh -e cat <<EOMSG Package %n is an autogenerated virtual package. You cannot manipulate this type of package using the usual Fink tools. Read the detailed description of this package to learn how to use it. EOMSG exit 1
homepage: http://fink.sourceforge.net/faq/usage-general.php#virtpackage descdetail: This package represents the C/C++/ObjC developer tools provided by Apple. If it does not show as installed, you can download it from Apple at:
http://connect.apple.com/
(free registration required)
description: [virtual package representing the developer tools] builddependsonly: true
Package: cctools-single-module Status: install ok installed [snip]
causes apt to break ... all those newlines.
I can see why this information is useful to fink, but why are we trying to tell apt about it? If we do want to tell apt about it we need to use something similar to the get_description routine in PkgVersion.pm, but I don't really see why apt needs to know.
