BTW even when you uninstall additional languages, apt still tries to
download translations for those languages, and often downloads packages
in language different than the default system setting. Is this material
for another bug? It definitively regards System - Preferences -
Language Support

Since it seems related to the locale settings, I've tried do disable
Translations in:
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10periodic, like:
// APT::Acquire::Languages=none;
APT::Acquire::Languages { en; none };
// Deprecated
// APT::Acquire::Translation none;
No success, with several variations.

apt-get
I just added the PPA to a Maverick test machine and the packages from
the PPA are visible, even though the translations are ignored:
$ apt-cache policy osgearth
osgearth:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 1.4.1-2~maverick1
Version table:
1.4.1-2~maverick1 0

Hi Torsten,
Thanks for your valuable help.
In fact, there are several packages that returns no information about them. The
example you mentioned, also works for me. The same behavior happens with i386
and amd64 packages.
Since the first package is 'geos', which fails, all my tests failed, and
$ apt-cache policy geos
N: Não foi possível encontrar o pacote geos
I've only checked this source package and it contains no binary package:
$ apt-get source geos
$ cd geos-*
$ cd debian
$ grep Package control
Package: libgeos-dev
Package: libgeos-c1
Package: libgeos-3.2.2
Package:
Hi Torsten,
Thats right! Mostly of the packages contains several binary packages,
but each one must be installed/referenced separately. Thank you for your
valuable time. I've learned a lot with your help.
I'll change the status to 'invalid'.
Regards,
Jorge
