Do you have dpkg status files that you can share, both good and bad? What do you mean by Package comments -> do you mean Description: field?
Looking at my /var/lib/dpkg/status as well as automatic backups in /var/backups/dpkg.status.* I don't see a single package with a Comment: field. Do you have sample .deb packages, which result in truncation post install? https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html mentions Comment: field, however, as an example of user-defined / custom fields, which would not be standards compliant / shouldn't be part of any Ubuntu package. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1611133 Title: dpkg truncates lines in 'status' file which begin with two spaces.
