The original .deb files showing the problem were bricscadv12, 12.0.10 en_US and bricscadv12, 12.1.21, it_IT. (I am developer at Bricsys)
I've attached a python script that generates two .deb files. As opposed to the original debs, the sample.deb files do not contain any files. The .deb files have the same control files as the original, except for the package name and installed size. I managed to run into the same issue with the sample deb files. But it is not as simple as installing the first deb, then opening the second. I tried a few times with install/upgrade/uninstall and suddenly the same issue happened. The python script mainly consists of two long multiline strings. Since I cannot consistently reproduce, I did not clip them. ** Attachment added: "python script to generate test .deb files for short description bug" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/955138/+attachment/3001759/+files/write_control.py -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/955138 Title: previous short description is displayed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/955138/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
