Public bug reported: We are using apt_pkg as part of Lubuntu Software Centre, however we have a minor problem.
Using an instance of PackageRecords(), the value for a package's long_desc and short_desc fields are the same. The piece of code we are using is attached. (Look at the function from line 500 onwards) python-apt: Installed: 0.8.0ubuntu9 Candidate: 0.8.0ubuntu9 Version table: *** 0.8.0ubuntu9 0 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status I'm actually using Mint 12 to submit this bug report, but this is a problem on Lubuntu 11.10 too. If we're just getting it wrong, call us idiots, then tell us how to use it. :) Example output for blender of printing both the the long and short description: <snip> Very fast and versatile 3D modeller/renderer Very fast and versatile 3D modeller/renderer </snip> ** Affects: python-apt (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/904864 Title: long_desc returns same value as short_desc To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-apt/+bug/904864/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
