[Bug 1300465] Re: description dialog is empty

[Michael Vogt]

Thats confusing, for me:
$ python3 -c 'import apt; pkg=apt.Cache()["2vcard"]; print(pkg.candidate.description)'
2vcard is a little perl script that you can use to convert the popular vcard file format. Currently 2vcard can only convert addressbooks and alias files from the following formats: abook,eudora,juno,ldif,mutt, mh and pine.

The VCARD format is used by gnomecard, for example, which is used by the
balsa email client.

$ python3 -c 'import apt; pkg=apt.Cache()["2vcard"]; print(pkg.versions[0].description)'
