Hi,

Thanks for the report.

I suspect it is the same (underlying) issue as #703605 (with the divert
case being a "more" legitimate clash).  I am keeping the bugs separate
for now but I suspect they will end up being solved at the same time.

Thanks,

Bug#919700: "apt-file list" prints files for wrong package

2019-01-18 Thread Jakub Wilk 

Package: apt-file
Version: 3.2.1

I ran into this odd corner case:

  $ apt-file list arc
  arc: /usr/bin/arc
  arc: /usr/bin/marc
  arc: /usr/share/doc/arc/Arc521.doc.gz
  arc: /usr/share/doc/arc/Arcinfo.gz
  arc: /usr/share/doc/arc/Readme.gz
  arc: /usr/share/doc/arc/changelog.Debian.gz
  arc: /usr/share/doc/arc/changelog.gz
  arc: /usr/share/doc/arc/copyright
  arc: /usr/share/man/man1/arc.1.gz
  arc: /usr/share/man/man1/marc.1.gz
  arcanist: /usr/bin/arc
  arcanist: /usr/share/man/man1/arc.1.gz

I guess apt-file got confused because "arc" is a substring of "arcanist" 
and they both ship the same files (bug #919697).
