So, I almost agree 3. My suggestion is Package: foo Version: ... Description: ... ... Version: ... Description: ... ... Package: bar Version: ... Description: ... ... Version: ... Description: ... ... How about this? And, I made the "change description" program in perl, named "chdesc". Chdesc can change the description field in the file such as "available", "status", "Packages". You can download chdesc and description-ja(description file for Japanese) in http://www.kfoot.com/debian/chdesc http://www.kfoot.com/debian/description-ja To change description to Japanese in the available file, 1. Put the description-ja file in /var/lib/dpkg. 2. Change description. # chdesc -lang ja -on To change description to original, # chdesc -lang ja -off "chdesc -help" shows the options. If you want to use chdesc, please make the backup file before run it. The current version of description-ja is for bo(1.3.x), and now I am working on the new version for hamm. Thanks. --- Debian-JP Atsushi KAMOSHIDA <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
