No, not in the first case gnus-group-describe-all-groups
I am seeing a list of all the groups, including those
I am not subscribed to, in the *group* buffer, beginning like this:
*:
*: aaa.inu-chan
aaa.inu-chan
*: ab.arnet
ab.arnet
*: ab.general ab.general
But note that it is not a description, it is simply the name of the
group repeated.
There is one error message in the messages buffer:
Reading descriptions file via nntp...
Opening nntp server on news.aioe.org...done
Reading descriptions file...done
Reading descriptions file via nnfolder...
Couldn't read newsgroups descriptions
Reading descriptions file via nntp...

Opening nntp server on news.gmane.io...done
Reading descriptions file...done
Reading descriptions file via nntp...
Opening nntp server on news.mozilla.org...done
Reading descriptions file...done
If I use "Group and description apropos" from the menu and press return
I see this:
aaa.inu-chan
Inu-chan by Kenso KATO
(Moderated)
ab.arnet
No description.
(Moderated)
ab.general
Items of general interest in Alberta,
Canada.
In it's own buffer, which at least proves to me that there is a
description for these groups.
