Public bug reported: Binary package hint: software-center
Version is 2.0.4, the one in Lucid Lynx. Software Center supports bullet lists in package descriptions, but it seems that the implementation fails for packages retrieved from a PPA. For example: 1) The description of the last official release of Stellarium in Ubuntu's repositories contains a bulleted list and it is rendered normally. (You can see it in the Featured Applications feature.) 2) The description of the test build in Stellarium's PPA is messed up (see the attached screenshot) - line breaks are missing, so the whole list is rendered as a single item. https://launchpad.net/~stellarium/+archive/stellarium-testing I've been trying to work around this issue for some time now. I've migrated from dashes to asterisks, but it doesn't make a difference. What did make a difference was when I put a dot-line (empty line) after "Some features:" - this way, the list block is treated as a new paragraph and the first bullet is put correctly. Unfortunately, it breaks after that. Both Synaptic and GDebi recognize the list, so "not following Debian standards" is not a reason. I will attach the control file of that Stellarium package too. ** Affects: software-center (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Bullet lists in package descriptions are not displayed correctly for PPA packages https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/584147 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
