Ubuntu not showing long descriptions

[Tony Baechler]

Thanks, but that didn't appear to work.  I logged out and back in but still
no luck.  As I said, I looked at the actual downloaded package lists and saw
only single line descriptions, so I don't think it's a specific package
causing the problem.
