Package: apt-file
Version: 2.0.8.2
Severity: normal
When no Contents-<arch>.gz is found by curl, apt-file saves the 404 error
message. This causes annoying messages at each apt-file run:
$ apt-file search foobarbaz
gzip:
/var/cache/apt/apt-file/ftp.de.debian.org_debian_dists_.._project_experimental_Contents-i386.gz:
not in gzip format
gzip:
/var/cache/apt/apt-file/debian-mirrors.sdinet.de_debian-multimedia_dists_sid_Contents-i386.gz:
not in gzip format
gzip:
/var/cache/apt/apt-file/home.arcor.de_scorpidnb_mythtv_current-scorpi_debian_dists_sid_Contents-i386.gz:
not in gzip format
$
When there is no contents file available, apt-file should just save nothing.
