Public bug reported:

Updated 64-bit Ubuntu with bum 2.5.2-1added.

Ran the utility, got stderr output
Gtk-WARNING **: GtkSpinButton: setting an adjustment with non-zero page size is 
deprecated at /usr/lib/bum/bum_app.pm line 122.

Ignored GTK warnings

Other error results in no descriptions showing on services tab with
advanced checked.

ROOT CAUSE
bumlib.pm gets the current module description from apt-cache show and saves it 
with
                my $start = rindex($s_info,"Description");
With internationalization, the pkg description text can have a hyphen and 
language code. So now $start is pointing to the wrong place.

Sorry I'm not a PERL programmer so I can't supply a patch.
