IndexError: list index out of range
----------------------END----------------------
I've refreshed the lists, no change.
Looking into the *en files in /var/lib/apt/lists/*en :-
I've looked for missing "Description-en:" in packages list, none missing
I've looked for missing "Description-md5" in packages list, none missing
I would like to help if required, but not good at python debugging, but willing
to learn
Good luck
