Situation in Ubuntu 11.04 / natty:
$ LANG=C apt-cache policy evince
evince:
Installed: 2.32.0-0ubuntu12.1
Candidate: 2.32.0-0ubuntu12.1
Version table:
*** 2.32.0-0ubuntu12.1 0
500 http://be.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty-updates/main i386
Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
2.32.0-0ubuntu12 0
500 http://be.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/main i386 Packages
$ apt-cache show evince
My locale is set to Dutch, above command returns English package descriptions
for 2.32.0-0ubuntu12.1 from natty-updates and Dutch for 2.32.0-0ubuntu1 from
the release repository as expected.
The archive should have a i18n directory for the natty-updates repository or
apt should be adapted to use the translations from the release repository
(natty) so translated package descriptions are displayed for updates too in
apt-cache, software-center, synaptic, ...
I tested by copying
/var/lib/apt/lists/be.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_natty_main_i18n_Translation-nl
to
/var/lib/apt/lists/be.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_natty-updates_main_i18n_Translation-nl
and then translated package descriptions are displayed.
