I stumbled upon the same thing that was reported by Reuben Thomas on 08/01/2009. Therefore I changed the status of this bug to »confirmed« now.
The garbled/odd characters in the English package description [1] of »etoys« are visible in the translation template »ddtp-ubuntu-multiverse« (e.g. for Natty) in Launchpad: This is the Squeak image developed for the OLPC project. Though, interestingly, these characters () do NOT show up on … a) Ubuntu Linux 10.10 64-Bit (Kernel 2.6.35-25-generic 44-Ubuntu SMP …) - When using the Ubuntu Software Center - When using Synaptic - When using »sudo apt-cache show etoys« b) Ubuntu Linux 11.04 alpha 32-Bit (Kernel 2.6.38-5-generic 32-Ubuntu SMP …) - When using the Ubuntu Software Center - When using Synaptic - When using »sudo apt-cache show etoys« Is it possible that this is a bug ONLY related to some problems during a translation import (upload) to Launchpad? If so, please forward this appropriately. Thanks!
