Package: apt-file
Version: 2.0.8
Severity: important

Hello,

"apt-file -F list" produces not the correct lists of files:

> apt-file -F list cyrus-clients-2.2
cyrus-clients-2.2: usr/share/doc/cyrus-clients-2.2/README.Debian
cyrus-clients-2.2: usr/share/doc/cyrus-clients-2.2/changelog.Debian.gz
cyrus-clients-2.2: usr/share/doc/cyrus-clients-2.2/changelog.gz
cyrus-clients-2.2: usr/share/doc/cyrus-clients-2.2/changelog.html.gz
cyrus-clients-2.2: usr/share/doc/cyrus-clients-2.2/copyright

while "apt-file list" gives a more complete list (it also lists the files
for other packages which is #358821):

> apt-file list cyrus-clients-2.2
cyrus-clients-2.2: usr/bin/imtest
cyrus-clients-2.2: usr/bin/lmtptest
cyrus-clients-2.2: usr/bin/mupdatetest
cyrus-clients-2.2: usr/bin/nntptest
cyrus-clients-2.2: usr/bin/pop3test
cyrus-clients-2.2: usr/bin/sivtest
cyrus-clients-2.2: usr/bin/smtptest
cyrus-clients-2.2: usr/share/doc/cyrus-clients-2.2/README.Debian
cyrus-clients-2.2: usr/share/doc/cyrus-clients-2.2/changelog.Debian.gz
cyrus-clients-2.2: usr/share/doc/cyrus-clients-2.2/changelog.gz
cyrus-clients-2.2: usr/share/doc/cyrus-clients-2.2/changelog.html.gz
cyrus-clients-2.2: usr/share/doc/cyrus-clients-2.2/copyright
cyrus-clients-2.2: usr/share/man/man1/imtest.1.gz
cyrus-clients-2.2: usr/share/man/man1/lmtptest.1.gz
cyrus-clients-2.2: usr/share/man/man1/mupdatetest.1.gz
cyrus-clients-2.2: usr/share/man/man1/nntptest.1.gz
cyrus-clients-2.2: usr/share/man/man1/pop3test.1.gz
cyrus-clients-2.2: usr/share/man/man1/sivtest.1.gz
cyrus-clients-2.2: usr/share/man/man1/smtptest.1.gz
cyrus21-clients: usr/bin/imtest
[...]
kolab-cyrus-clients: usr/share/man/man1/smtptest.1.gz
[...]

This bug and #358821 occur due to bad handling of files which can be found
in multiple packages.
I would appreciate a timely fix (before etch freeze), since this results 
in my application producing wrong results (since it relies on packagesearch)

The problem was mentioned in #259416 before.

Best regards

Ben
