[Bug 868977] Re: apt-cache show apt:i386 does not include the long description

[Michael Vogt]

The issue is that in MergeList for indexes without a architecture (like
the Translations index) for Arch the main architecture is returned. So
when the translated descriptions are added they will only be added for
the main arch instead of for all arches.

Attached is a small fix for this but it needs some work as it makes the diff (with proper indent) pretty big and this is also a
good opportunity to simply this loop.
