_______________________________________________________
Details:
The geometry package DESCRIPTION file contains some syntax / formatting
errors. If a field is folded onto more than one line, the following lines must
start with a single leading space character to indicate that they are
continuation lines and not the start of a new field.
The fields Author and Description look like they are supposed to consist of
multiple lines, but they are missing leading spaces on continuation lines.
When installing the package, the message "skipping line" is printed four
times, and the fields contain incomplete data.
Also Philip Nienhuis' name is misspelled in the Authors field, and there is a
spurious trailing comma.
The following inline patch fixes all of these issues
