So I confirmed this locally with 'apt-ftparchive packages .' myself, using the apt from quantal, before filing this report. And I can no longer reporduce the problem. I don't know what has changed between then and now.
The packages file in the canonical partner archive, which was last updated on July 30 (right before I filed this bug), is broken in the manner described. I don't know if regenerating the index would fix it somehow (?!). The "canonical" location for this is http://archive.canonical.com/, btw. I don't know who mirror1.ku.ac.th is, but apparently they didn't get the memo that archive.canonical.com exists exclusively for software that it's *not* legal to mirror. :-P -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1031146 Title: apt-ftparchive mangles leading whitespace in package descriptions To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1031146/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
