   Version: 3.1.15   
   Severity: normal   
      
   Dear Maintainers,   
      
   Short version: in apt 3.1.15 or 3.0.3 (sid and trixie at the time of   
   opening the bug): the user might not have the long description of the   
   packages if a "wrong" Translation language is set; but the user doesn't   
   see any error message at any time during normal operations.   
      
   Steps to reproduce:   
      
   $ sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*   
   $ sudo apt -o Acquire::Languages=xxxxx update   
      
   With the second command: no error is displayed. But when doing:   
      
   $ apt show apt   
      
   The Description: is a one-liner instead of having the full description.   
      
   For some reason, a system that I have ended up having an invalid   
   language set via a apt.conf.d file (similar but not exactly to the next   
   thing):   
      
   carles@pinux:~$ cat /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99translations   
   Acquire::Languages { "asdf"; };   
   carles@pinux:~$   
      
   But I didn't know that it was there. For a while I was wondering why the   
   full description was missing (specially when "$ apt update" didn't show   
   anything wrong, neither "apt show package" to say that the long   
   description wasn't there, etc.   
      
   Thank you very much,
