I still get this error ... :( mhh. I tried "apt-cache show telepathy-haze" and it has all the usual output and just to be sure I tried it again and all fine in my de local as well as with LANG=C or anything else I could come up with. Can you post the output of "apt-config dump" and attach your /etc/apt/sources.list(.d/) files? Usually reportbug should have asked you to do that (or even asked you if it is allowed to do that automatically). >> But it would also be nice if you could try current unstable versions as they >> introduce some changes to the 'show' code, which might have fixed this >> as a by-product. > > Which "unstable versions" do you mean? From apt and its dependencies? > Have a nice day I mean apt and libapt-* from "Debian unstable", but we are not in a hurry and I don't want to suggest adding this repository if you haven't configured it, just misread the versionnumber and thought you were an unstable user already. The new version should be in "Debian testing" in a couple of days as well.

Which "unstable versions" do you mean? From apt and its dependencies? Have a nice day Thomas. -- All men are mortal. Socrates was mortal.

Thanks for the report, but while I tried for a while to reproduce this I seem to be unable to do so. Usually our bugscript would have attached config and sources which might help to identify what is going on here. But it would also be nice if you could try current unstable versions as they introduce some changes to the 'show' code, which might have fixed this as a by-product.
