Bug Description

Associations of package descriptions are awfully wrong for several packages. For example, there is the texmacs package, which shows an outdated description.

But there is also the description of the package "gnome-shell« which uses the title "evolution calendar" (in German) instead of its own. "gnome-shell" also exists as a separate package with a correct description in 13.10 (but does not seem to in 13.04 according to user reports).

[Original description]
In the ubuntu software center, the package description of the package texmacs says "Ein [...] Taschenrechner [...] ", although it should say "Ein [...] [Text]Editor [...] ".
The long text by the way is only in english.

It's not a translation mistake. The current translation from 2008-12-02 in Launchpad reads "Mathematischer WYSIWYG-Texteditor mit TeX-Schriften". I can see the wrong translation in Ubuntu Software-Center though. Maybe the translation has been fixed and the package descriptions haven't been updated since then? Anybody seeing this in Oneiric?

Not sure if it is an issue with the DDTP or the software center. Please check.

This bug is still present in 14.04, specifically in software-center version 13.10-0ubuntu4.1. It does not appear to be specific to the German translation, as it's present in US English as well. I've attached a screenshot of the preview for the page for the gnome shell package that is mislabeled as "Evolution Calendar".
