Thanks for taking your time to reporting this issue and help making Ubuntu better.
I can confirm this issue, I don't see the long description with apt 1.0.9.10ubuntu6 on Ubuntu Wily either. On my 15.04 system, I get the following output when looking up gimp: ...

You can use it to edit, enhance, and retouch photos and scans, create drawings, and make your own images. It has a large collection of professional-level editing tools and filters, similar to the ones you might find in Photoshop. Numerous fine-control settings and features like layers, paths, masks, and scripting give you total control over your images. . Many image file formats are supported, including JPEG, Photoshop (.psd), and Paint Shop Pro (.psp) files. It can also be used to scan and print photos. . To open files remotely (like over HTTP), install the gvfs-backends package. . To use a MIDI device (like a musical keyboard) as an input controller in GIMP, install libasound2 and read the how-to at /usr/share/doc/gimp/README.MIDI Description-md5: ad6dd18a09fb86ea4529ac53f33168b9 Homepage: http://www.gimp.org/ ... ** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Tags added: wily -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1486061 Title: Long descriptions appear to be missing from apt cache To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1486061/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
