[Bug 672314] Re: No translated package descriptions for -updates repository

[Pascal De Vuyst]

Situation in Ubuntu 11.04 / natty:

$ LANG=C apt-cache policy evince
evince:
  Installed: 2.32.0-0ubuntu12.1
  Candidate: 2.32.0-0ubuntu12.1
  Version table:
 *** 2.32.0-0ubuntu12.1 0
        500 http://be.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty-updates/main i386 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     2.32.0-0ubuntu12 0
        500 http://be.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/main i386 Packages

$ apt-cache show evince
My locale is set to Dutch, above command returns English package descriptions for 2.32.0-0ubuntu12.1 from natty-updates and Dutch for 2.32.0-0ubuntu1 from the release repository as expected.

The archive should have a i18n directory for the natty-updates repository or apt should be adapted to use the translations from the release repository (natty) so translated package descriptions are displayed for updates too in apt-cache, software-center, synaptic, ...
I tested by copying /var/lib/apt/lists/be.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_natty_main_i18n_Translation-nl to /var/lib/apt/lists/be.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_natty-updates_main_i18n_Translation-nl and then translated package descriptions are displayed.
