Package: apt-file
Version: 2.5.4
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
it is possible to run apt as non-root in a completely detached directory
tree using config options like Dir::Etc, Dir::Etc::SourceList,
Dir::State::Status and others.
This allows apt-file to be run in a similar way by pointing the --cache
and --sources-list commandline options to the non-root paths.
What is missing is to also allow apt-file to use a different
configuration file than /etc/apt/apt-file.conf and a different
sources.list.d directory than /etc/apt/sources.list.d
Otherwise, the configuration and sources.list.d folder of the host might
interfere with the apt-file execution which is meant to be separate.
So it might make sense to add two now options like --config and
--sourceslistd.
This might be made obsolete by the resolution of bug #516817.
Thanks!
cheers, josch

In apt-file/3.0~exp, there are no config files and apt-file does not
look at the sources lists. Accordingly, I consider this bug solved. :)
Thanks,
