retitle 349585 apt-file: Please use an atomic rename() during update
severity 349585 minor
thanks

apt-file downloads currently overwrite the existing files during
download, allowing for incomplete search results during that update,
and strange gunzip/zlib errors.  Please download to a temporary
location on the same filesystem, and use an atomic rename().  I would
suggest creating a temporary subdirectory under var/cache/apt/apt-file
for this purpose.

Also, please consider cleaning the old contents files from
/var/cache/apt.
