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...

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.
