For the record we had an IRC conversation here:

I think it makes more sense to open a new apt bug. Not quite sure at the
moment what the issue is, though...
As said on IRC, I'll do some tests later. If you already know what a
proper bug
OK I believe what has happened here is that you are running mixed-locale
systems, and the cache was generated with en_US or C locales. If you run
mixed language systems, you have to set
Acquire::Languages { "language code 1"; "language code 2"; ... };
e.g.
Acquire::Languages { "sv_SE"; "sv";
I cannot reproduce that issue from #11
# apt install locales-all # get the locale
# export LANG=sv_SE.UTF-8
# locale
LANG=sv_SE.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="sv_SE.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="sv_SE.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="sv_SE.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="sv_SE.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="sv_SE.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="sv_SE.UTF-8"
@Julian: Today, after the latest apt update, it behaves differently
compared to what I wrote in comment #8 and #10. Now I'm not able to even

Anyway, I attached a file with some commands to demonstrate the issue.

This is incomplete, APT deduplicates descriptions based on the
description hash, so if the description is the same, barring a bug in
apt, it should be available for both versions. Without seeing an apt-
cache showpkg of the affected package, we can't really tell. It seems to
work for me, but I
