[Debian-l10n-devel] Churro - bad entries in DDTP database

[Martin Eberhard Schauer]

Now I get the following error when trying to pull in something into the 
DDTSS.
(For better readability I put line feeds before the # characters.)
The workaround comes at the bottom of this mail.

http://ddtp.debian.net/ddt.cgi?desc_id=173245
happens to consist just of the short description.

Other descriptions (including those pending for translation for some 
time) can
be accessed as usual.

So if you are eager to translate something:

  - go to http://ddtp.debian.net/ddt.cgi?package=<your package>
  - determine the number of the entry (not the last one)
  - fetch the description in the DDTSS by number
