Hi, Thanks for filing this. Though as you may noticed in the header, I am not intending to work on fixing this. Rather, I want APT to provide a way to fetch things for apt-file rather than having apt-file re-invent every single wheel that also gets included in APT. Mind you, if someone wants to step up and re-invent this particular wheel, I am willing to review the patch. But in general, I want APT to do the heavy lifting for "fetching" stuff - (my) life is too short to reimplement APT in apt-file. :) > [...] > > ,--- > $ apt-file list foo > Use of uninitialized value $scheme in string at /usr/bin/apt-file line 185, > <SOURCE> line 4. > Use of uninitialized value $scheme in concatenation (.) or string at > /usr/bin/apt-file line 186, <SOURCE> line 4. > W: Don't know how to handle > E: No valid sources in /etc/apt/sources.list > `--- > This seems wrong though and I will have a look at fixing those.
