Comment 9 for bug 672314

For APT this should be fixed, so setting status accordingly.

Basically, if a translation for the description-md5 of the package is available from any source it is used, provided that the attack-value of a wrongly translated description is pretty low - especially compared to the problem that you are already trusting the source enough to have it enabled and therefore get packages from there …

Of course, if the update includes a change to the description you still need a translation in -updates as we can't display old translations.

apt (0.8.16~exp5ubuntu14) precise; urgency=low

  * apt-pkg/pkgcachegen.cc:
    - refactor MergeList by creating -Group, -Package and -Version specialist
    - share description list between "same" versions (LP: #868977)
      This also means that descriptions are shared across archives now.
  * apt-pkg/pkgcache.cc:
    - always prefer "en" over "" for "en"-language regardless of cache-order
