Thanks for helping Fernando, I'd like to get maintainer's insight before doing anything. He knows the arcane of apt and what is the best solution. The bug is triggered by the size of the spanish description of texlive-latex-extra, so a possible workaround would be to limit this translation to something around 35K characters. But it will fix only this translation and only for spanish and this bug may happen for other languages too and it's lot of work to adapt translations to work around that kind of thing.
About my previous comment: it also hits people doing $ LANG=es_ES.utf8 apt-cache show texlive-latex-extra This is a wider audience than only synaptic users. -- apt fails if size of translated RFC822 message is much larger than the size of the original message. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/545336 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
