I am used to using apt-file to look at some information about packages before I install them - specifically the list of what file they provide ( "apt-file list" ). apt-file has to be updated with apt-file update just like apt-get does.
For the last few days I've been trying to update apt-file and I'm getting the following error: --16:47:53-- http://security.debian.org//dists/stable/updates/Contents-i386.gz => `/var/cache/apt/security.debian.org_dists_stable_updates_Contents-i386.gz' Resolving security.debian.org... 194.109.137.218, 128.101.240.212 Connecting to security.debian.org[194.109.137.218]:80... connected. HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 404 Not Found 16:47:54 ERROR 404: Not Found. using a browser I cannot find Contents-i386.gz anywhere under http://security.debian.org//dists/stable/updates/ Does anyone know what the correct URL is? apt-file is able to download http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/dists/stable/Contents-i386.gz just fine. If someone knows how to use apt-cache or some other tool to show the list of files in a package, I would appreciate hearing about it. I did not see a way to do that in the man page.
