I've chosen severity 4 because this makes apt-file unsuable for me.

Hi,

Current versions of apt-file do not display very verbose 404 errors. I
think we can therefore conclude that this bug is fixed. If you disagree,
please reopen and let us know what happens for you and how you'd expect it
to look.
thanks,
Thijs
